As soon as we made it into the Semi, and India were no longer due to play at Edgbaston, there were a huge number of unwanted tickets available. I live about 30 miles from Edgbaston and it would have been one of my biggest regrets if I did not go to watch England play Australia, in a semi-final of a World Cup. I got a ticket for face value, in the Eric Hollies stand and it was just about the perfect match. It was absolutely amazing. We bowled brilliantly (especially Rashid) and Roy was so unlucky not to get a ton, he deserved it and got such a bad decision! My favourite part of the day? When Australia were looking desperate and threw the ball to Smith for an over. Roy smashed him for 6,6,6, it was just wonderful. Loved it. Thanks for the uploads.
Jason Roy did play in the ashes. Unfortunately he’s not a test match opener. Brilliant white ball player, one of the best, but not a test match player.
