Cucumber Sandwiches and a steaming pot of tea are also essential if one is playing. If you are watching anything alcoholic drunk in large amounts over 7 hours and a silly hat.

Do not forget to bring your slippers, newspaper and something to entertain yourself with.

Don't take the piss out of slippers, your a philistine wonderful foot wear.

One thing thats completely foxed me today is the statement that the bowlers will find a bit of reverse swing but no conventional swing.

Surely if a bowler can bowl reverse swing from one end, he can bowl conventional swing from the other end as the ball is facingthe same way for both?

You've confused me there.
Remember conventional swing can either be in or out depending on which way you hold the shiny side. Reverse swing is when the ball swings the opposite way to what you would expect, whether in or out. But people normally associate reverse swing with in swingers.

Swing swing swing. The word is now meaningless to me.
