This was the day Alastair
Cook scored his final Test century. I was at Lord’s to watch Middlesex play
Kent and also to meet up with regular King Cricket contributor Ged Ladd after
he had flung himself around playing Real Tennis.
I was sitting in the member’s stand dipping in and out of The Tartar Steppe (1938) by Dino Buzzati.

Like Straight Outta the Upper Compton – a match reportApril 20, 2020 at 6:32 AM Send your match reports to [email protected] We’re only really interested in your own experience, so if it’s a professional match, on no account mention the cricket itself. (But if it’s an amateur match, feel free to go into excruciating detail.)
Regular match reporter Ged Ladd titled this particular missive ‘The Hottest Day of the Year’ – which was dangerously vague of him given our famously laid-back attitude to publishing these things.
Fortunately, he did specify which year wi...Tags: England, Australia, Sex, New Zealand, Scarborough, Match Report, Lord, Bob Willis, Hanoi, Iain, Ged Ladd, Iain Spellright, Upper Compton, Middlesex Shop, Uncail Marcas, Straight Outta Surrey 8 people like this.

A Sunday at Lord’s with Daisy. We sat in the Mound Stand, next to a charming South African gentleman and his Zimbabwean friend. We chatted with them.
In particular, the Zimbabwean gentleman explained the currency chaos prevailing in Zimbabwe at that time; sacks full of bank notes to buy basic items, the authorities producing ever larger, ludicrously large denomination bank notes; worthless before they had even rolled off the printing presses.
I asked the gentleman if I might ...Tags: England, London, Sex, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Match Report, Daisy, Mound Stand, Ged Ladd, England Centurion Test, South Africa Lord 's ODI, Yen 's City 31 people like this. Like Life Beyond the Airing Cupboard by former Sussex captain John Barclay – a holiday reading review by Ged LaddOctober 23, 2017 at 2:33 PM I read Life Beyond The Airing Cupboard in September 2009, while Daisy and I were on a short holiday in Burgundy. We had joined Daisy’s sister, Lavender and her husband, Antonio Ordóñez for a few days, then we stayed on for an extra day or two before returning home.
Lavender and Antonio looked at us quizzically before they headed off when the answer to their question, “what are you going to do after we leave today?” was, “we’re going to the Bresse service station for lunch”.

Like Cricket recipe: Ged Ladd’s “Home Of Cricket” Glazed Drunken PrawnsMarch 30, 2017 at 6:37 AM King Cricket was one of my guests the first time I cooked and served this dish. Although he praised the dish, KC also described the glaze as “less of a glaze, more of a gelatinous gloop”.
Well I can assure you, King Cricket, my original attempt at Throdkin was gloopy, whereas the sumptuous, high viscosity sauce for the drunken prawns is glazy.
If you want an artificially shiny glaze, then add cornflour, like a cheap Chinese restaurant. But don’t listen to KC (or me) – try it yourselves.

Like England v Australia at Old Trafford match reportJuly 27, 2016 at 7:24 AM We went to the fifth one-day international between England and Australia. Cricket-wise, it was your quintessential damp squib, even if the weather was a beautifully sunny, warm, dry squib.
The paper wallet in which the tickets arrived promised music, action and cricket, in that order.
We assumed this was a reference to Old Trafford also hosting live music events, but as it turned out it was a fairly accurate description of the entertainment on offer on the day.
We saw David Gower striding acro...Tags: England, Australia, Sex, Dave, Match Report, Alex, Stockport, Tom Moody, David Gower, Macclesfield, Mitch Marsh, Nasser Hussain, Ged Ladd 45 people like this.

It can be exhilarating, being Ged Ladd’s smartphone; even after the bland ending to our Day Two, we were full of excitement ahead of Day Three. Ged woke me up and I was feeling 100% full of energy, which is as it should be.
Our walk to the ground was mostly uneventful; my colleagues and their apps being the forgotten heroes of earlier treks, now that the humans well and truly knew the best route.

It can be quite exhausting being Ged Ladd’s smartphone; day one of the Edgbaston Test had been such a day. Normally a good rest overnight and I recharge my batteries without difficulty, but I had a bad night and in the morning I felt even more run down than I had the night before.
Ged went to put the kettle on and the cause of my low energy was revealed to him. Although the lights were working, the sockets around the walls were all dead.

It’s hard work being Ged Ladd’s smartphone. I get pretty run down by the end of most days. Still, there are perks. One of those perks is cricket. During the cricket season I get to look at the scores a heck of a lot. And sometimes I get to go to matches.

Just a few days after Ged and Daisy went to the Lord’s Ashes Test and got all confused about etiquette, Ged asked me to take him out and about for the working day, to culminate at Lord’s, The Home of Cricket, for a net with Charley “The Gent” Malloy and Escamillo Escapillo. I was incredibly excited about visiting Lord’s for the first time, but knew there was real work to do first.
