My Day at The Ashes

I was one of the privileged 16,000 watching the first ever Test Cricket match in Wales as England and Australia started the 2009 Ashes series at the SWALEC Stadium in Sophia Gardens, Cardiff and how magical it was.

The cricket was frantic and exciting with England 332/7 at close - an 'even stevens' affair with England players guilty of throwing away a couple of wickets far too easily.

The occasion was outstanding and such a success that even the most hardened critics of Test Matches in Cardiff and opening the Ashes here was forced to concede it was a superb experience.

The weather was great, the atmosphere even better, the effort put it it by the hosts simply superb.

I was lucky enough to be in the main stand under the England players balcony and loved it from start to finish. Feel free to watch my photoset.
