Anybody heading to Edgbaston this week for the game. Got tickets for Saturday, but im deliberating whether or not to go. The footy season starts aswell so im in a bit of a limbo.

P.S Doesnt HCT Look stunning on the skyline ;)

deliberating whether or not to go - a Saturday test match at Edgebaston is one of the great days of cricket.

It always seems that Edgbaston has the best atmosphere of all the test grounds in England.

If the weather holds it promises to be a good day - England always seem to do well at Edbaston.

theres a big screen on in cannon hill park too to watch it from

I'll have your tickets if you're not going.

i've just got back from work and stuck the tv on as Flintoff hit his half century....wicked. I'll keep an eye out for HCT

Yes, it's definitely visible, even from the cameras inside the ground (Pavillion end looking towards the City end).
I'm waiting for the camera man to do the "zoom back from a distance and pan into the ground" shot, which is customary at least once a day. I wonder what subject they'll choose to zoom in on ...

St Andrews probably :hahaha:

My brother's coming up from Kent and we're are going tomorrow :cheers:

If today is anything to go by you're in for treat! :eek2:

True, I've never been such a big fan of test cricket preferring the one day stuff but todays encounter was rivetting!

St Andrews probably :hahaha:
Nah, it was BT tower. Honestly, these camera men have no imagination. :|

If you had control of the camera on that blimp for a day, which landmarks would you choose to show on national telly?

what a brilliant day :) :) :) I don't want this to seem like holiday snaps but this was today. I'm a bit beered and I can't be bothered to resize these. enjoy http://www.cricket.co.uk/

Right after having my nerves stretched to their limit I'm off into Brum to take some photo's

Congrats to England. That is probably the greatest test match I have ever seen. So close and yet so far :)

Cheers, I was a nervous wreck watching it this morning, roll on next Thursday...The Edgbaston crowd were fantastic though which was rightly commented on
