Hi All,
Does anyone happen to know if there's anywhere in CVO to watch the 5th Ashes test match ,starting 2nd Jan?
Play starts at around 11.30pm each night.
So it would be very nice to find a bar to get quietly sloshed watching the first couple of hours of each days play.

Many Thanks

I reckon the joker bar - half way up restaurant hill on RHS wil have it on.

So will Harry's bar on the out road.

Many thanks

Hemmingways on the out roads the best place. Enjoy

Many Thanks

great fun to watch the Aussies cringe

We had a great time 5 days of warm sunny afternoons, paradise

I was the tall slightly overweight guy with glasses and a "barmy army" white poloshirt if any body saw me this week

back to blighty tomorrow

A bloke walks into a brothel in Sydney and says: "I'm a bit kinky, how much for total humiliation?"
The madam replies $60.
"Wow, what do I get for that," he says.
She says: "A baggy green cap and an Australian Cricket Shirt.

And they managed to stuff them in the T20 as well - even though it was by 1 run!! bloody marvellous!!

I think the word 'stuff' is a bit strong. I prefer 'scraped through'. I think that is a more realistic assessment of the match result. However it was a good match to watch

No - stuffing is correct - led 'em on a bit then just got the runs when we wanted - what's to point of having 20 overs if you don't use them all

they are the only 11 people in Aus currently praying for rain!

I see England got stuffed by the Aussies today in the second T20, or is that too strong a word . Good match though

Of course that's too strong - we were very unfortunate, narrowly beaten by bad luck by a scabby bunch of foreigners! - haven't you worked it out yet

Should be a good one-day series mind - Aussies are always a tough team no matter what - hope you lucky lot that can watch it in a bar in CVO somewhere don't drink too much!
