Looking at OT cricket ground. Multi million rebuild, but it’s largely hotels and conference facilities. The one large stand is a temporary pile of scaffolding. I thought they were putting a new stand of the last couple of years… but a see that’s a hotel too.

No point building a massive stand that only gets used once a year compared to a hotel that’s open 24/7 365.

I get that (although with T20, the Hundred and ODIs there’s more than one big attendance per season) - my point is the spectator facilities are pretty poor at OT and much of the viewing is pitch level or not very high up. Went a few times last season and thought as a general spectator nothing has really improved.

Need to get 1 of these 2 soon. They're just seeing it out until it rains again.

Sad to see Jimmy like this. He's basically holding up an end here and that's not what we need. He's just not threatening at all.

Is it me or are they not pitching the ball up?

Need to start seeing some more half chances. Like someone said above, the pitch feels dead.

I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at the moment..

Need a bit of luck or a poor shot.
