A Day At The Hundred Final, 18 August 2024

Zara Larsson making a mockery of the pavilion dress code.

Janie and I went to the final of the Hundred…again.

Pretty much everything I want to say about the day is beautifully summarised in the King Cricket piece, “authored by Daisy”, in which I am Ged and Janie is Daisy:

If anything were to befall the King Cricket website, you can read that piece here.

The only details to add, as King Cricket match reports religiously omit anything about the cricket itself, are:

We had a lovely day.

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!
