You just feel this is such an important day for English cricket. For New Zealand too, of course. But you feel this is crucial, perhaps for the future of cricket in this country.

There will be so many people watching the sport on free to air TV for the first time.

The Barmy Army are in!

England’s
‘Barmy Army’ fans group have been able to buy more than a hundred tickets after the
ICC allocated them a block in the ground.

This is an effort to create an atmosphere at the Cricket
World Cup final similar to the one at Edgbaston in the semi-final, where the ICC
were impressed by the English fans singing and support.
