Went a lot when I worked in central London in the 80s

Including one where the Windies batted England out of the game in a day. Also saw one of Botham' s pair in what I think was his last test as captain. Always preferred Lord's, not least because you can sit under cover and I am prone to sunburn.

Got a ticket for the Saturday of the Southampton test this year, sitting in with India fans.
