An Afternoon & Evening “Watching” London Spirit v Manchester Originals At Lord’s

Janie “watching cricket” intensely.

This brace of matches (women’s and then men’s) was also a Nell Mescal concert.

Pretty much everything I wanted to say about our afternoon and evening was captured in a King Cricket piece, which was published with alarming speed, I think because it touched on one of KC’s pieces about Dan Lawrence’s gyratory bowling action.

If anything were ever to go awry over at King Cricket, you can read that article here.

In the unlikely event that anyone wants to know what happened in those matches:

As is so often the case with these matches, the women’s one was closer and in that regard far more entertaining. We didn’t stay to the end of the men’s one. We rarely do, regardless of how it is going. You CAN have too much of a good thing – especially when it starts to get a bit chilly in the evening.

But as usual we had a jolly good time.

The Hundred Finals Day At Lord’s, With Rudimental, 27 August 2023

Almost everything that I want to say in words about this event is contained in the “match report” on King Cricket – click here or below, where, in case you didn’t know, dear reader, I am Ged and Janie is Daisy:

Janie took a ludicrous number of pictures – you can see them all through the Flickr link below:

Janie and I were very motivated by the live appearance of Rudimental and mugged up on their hits in advance of the concert…I mean Finals Day.

I expected that we might see live performances of at least four Rudimental bangers and we were treated to all four of the ones I expected we’d see:

I was also hoping for this next one, which I especially liked when mugging up, but they didn’t do this one. Shoulda been a bigger hit in my opinion, but my opinion didn’t guarantee hits even when I was younger, let alone now!
