Na, in hindsight we should of had separate ones for each tour, I'm sure one will die of natural causes.

Someone who used to post on this site had a heap of cricket ties he was getting rid of, so I asked for any that were Ashes related.
It was quite a surprise to find the old Egg and Bacon in there.

Went to Lords last year to watch the Eng SL test. It was awesome.

One of my mates was also there, and he was a SACA member. A little known fact is that SACA members get reciprocal rights with Lords, so he rang up and organised it beforehand. Said they treated him like a king too. When he was there he went and had a look around the long room, then looked up and it was Sangakkara brushing past him to go out to bat.

Most jealous i have ever been of someone

Been on a tour of the joint in 2013. Well worth it and I want to do it again as I missed out on the dressing rooms as it was 2 days before a match and the players kit bags had arrived.

Little known fact to non-SACA members Im sure you meant to say.

I can assure all of you every SACA member is fully aware of this entitlement.

Thought not. ;)

Cool story though.

Maybe leave the thoughts of SACA members to actual SACA members in future is all I'm saying.
