Kia Oval

England via India day 2. Down in London with my BIL to see the cricket .

We'd originally come down to London for Day 3 but last night saw a ticket booth in Shaftesbury Avenue selling day 2 tickets . We parted with £160 in cash and arrived very anxiously this morning half expecting " Big Al " to have disappeared with our dosh . We shouldn't' t have worried - we got 2 debenture tickets in the new stand . 10 paces from the bar with access to the debenture lounge . A real step up from the South Stand at Pittodrie with a different type of banter . The cricket wasn't bad either .
