Shilli-Fully Travels

As it turned out the third test was a dead rubber with West Indies already up 2-0. Most people in the stadium were Brits, however it still had a very different atmosphere (and temperature) to Lord’s. The food stalls were run by locals who bought in hot food to sell, including goat stew which was delicious, although looked at somewhat sideways by the Barmy Army. The party zone in the stadium, supported by the main sponsor Sandals, and including a pool and sun loungers, was noisy and singing out of tune, fuelled by beer and rum.
