Thankfully I couldn’t go tonight but a mate of mine went & left after 10 overs of the Kent innings :D

That was woeful from Surrey last night. The first ten overs were excruciatingly bad.

On a different note, me and a mate, both members, have set tickets for tomorrow's CC game. I see tickets are available to the general public for £15. Are guest passes able to be used for this does anyone know?

I asked them this question on Thursday and got this reply.

The Somerset game is socially distanced, and tickets are being sold in that fashion on the website and over the phone. The website ensures the distance between bookings automatically.

Unfortunately at the moment only 1 guest per member is permitted, but this may increase tomorrow.

It will be possible to use your passes at Guildford, subject to availability. Booking in advance would be advisable!



I am planning to take 2 guests Tuesday. They say they only have 4500 capacity and want to make sure the members get seats. I doubt they will get 2k on Tuesday. There could be a few more tomorrow but unlikely 4k. They said they had 4 k for an earlier game, probably Middlesex.
They have to allocate your guest a seat.
All a bit vague I know. I am sure if you arrange in advance you will get guest seats. Everyone has probably given up after the last couple of games:)

Thanks. As you say, as very vague! The website is atrocious and never clear. Dropped them a email but might try and call in a bit.

It is better to call. Can take up to 2 days for a email reply.

A Kent player has tested positive for COVID-19. As a result anyone involved for Kent on Friday is now isolating and a different side will play against Sussex instead. The start has been delayed by an hour as a result.

Surrey 2021 in a nutshell.

Good show from Kent’s bowlers, newby Jas Singh took 4 wickets. He is right arm fast medium apparently.

Indeed, great effort at covid isolation short notice it seems. First XI have had a poor championship season, so why not give the seconds a go :p

3 late wickets have probably kept Surrey in this game. At least I think. The result matters not. Another poor season for Surrey.

Left at five ish so missed those late wickets. Seemed all quite placid, Somerset at ease. Was Overton injured?

Don't know about Overton. Did you get your guest ticket?

I suspect that with Surrey playing 3 spinners, Overton is there for his batting as much as anything. A sad state of affairs.

I had a ticket for tomorrow but returned it because the forecast doesn’t look great. Hope you had a good day today

I went yesterday- didn't know Ashwin had signed until I saw the line-up on the screen. I think it's only for one game though.

Seemed odd he only bowled four overs

Mate that would have used any guest pass decided not to come in the end, so not sure! No reply when I rang on Saturday

Even when Surrey are crap, a day spent watching county cricket is always time well spent!

30,000 cases a day, 60,000 people rammed into a football stadium last night.

Cricket match abandoned due to a single case.

You mean 90,000 rammed into a football stadium. Didn't look like there was a spare seat going by the TV pictures.

Is there no one day 50 over final at Lords this year?
