International Cricket At Trent Bridge

Ground

Welcome to all the coverage from international cricket at Trent Bridge in 2015 which will include the fourth Royal London One-Day International between England and New Zealand and the fourth Investec Ashes Test between England and Australia.

By scrolling back through the posts below you will see what we covered during the visits of New Zealand and Australia in 2013 and we will be looking to do just the same this time round.

Throughout the next week everything with be focused on the visit of New Zealand on Wednesday 17 June before the blog switches in to Ashes mode once again. We will get the lowdown of what the businesses around the ground and in the city get from the prestigious match coming to Trent Bridge as well as all the quirky stories that spectators bring along with them.

For the next two months this blog will be packed with exclusive content from behind the scenes at Trent Bridge so if you are in the ground look out for our volunteers who will no doubt be along to chat to as many people as humanly possible in one day.

And there we have it folks, the match won by the hosts. The final wicket fell in the 46th over, McClenaghan finding the hands of Joe Root off the bowling from Finn, New Zealand finishing with 253. England claim victory by 34 runs, thanks to a combination of heroics from Morgan and Buttler with the bat, and discipline with the ball from Tredwell.

A Great Day Had By All

The Coldest Seat In The Ground

Mike Hutton works the camera in the cherry picker above the pavilion. Dressed in a coat and scarf, he has the best view of the ground. “My grandfather used to come to Trent Bridge. I work at all the International matches, but always enjoy coming back to Trent Bridge,” he said. Mike’s dedication to his job has seen him featured in ‘Wisden’ this year.

The Dedicated Fan

Jamie Dickinson has been a dedicated member of Trent Bridge for most of his life. The 26 year old first came to the ground when he was 6, and has been a committed fan ever since.

“I played Kwik Cricket here as a junior member of Ellerslie Cricket Club. I now play for Clifton Village, and coach the younger players in the team”.

He has seen Trent Bridge develop over the years, but always enjoys the atmosphere.  “I work part-time here at the International matches. I’ll be working here for the Ashes test, in hospitality, operations and anything else the club need me to do”.

He is very much part of the Trent Bridge family, who he describes as being very welcoming and committed. “The members here are really good cricket people. Many volunteer to help out at Internationals, and they work hard to make Trent Bridge a successful venue.”

While he wants England to win the Ashes, he would like to see some good competitive cricket.

“Like many Outlaws fans, I’d like to see Ed Cowan do well, and will be cheering him on as well as supporting England”.
