Best Test day "in the world"

Dedicated England fan David Charlton, from Blyth, Northumberland, couldn't wait to see his first Ashes in his home North East having travelled the world watching Test cricket.


"I've been to four continents watching Test cricket and I've seen the best day ever on my own doorstep. The match was fantastic and also being able to meet one of my sporting heroes made it one of the most memorable days of my life."
David has been to all the grounds in England since he saw his first Test at Headingley at the age of eight and he's been to Barbados twice, Galle in Sri Lanka, Durban and Centurion in South Africa and Perth and Melbourne in Australia 
On his travels, he has met many players from England and the opposition teams but had two burning ambitions he hoped to fulfil - to meet Beefy and Bumble - Ian Botham and David Lloyd.
DurhamAshes.blogspot had a word with Ian Botham and he was only too pleased to make a dream come true during the rain break on day four at the Emirates Durham ICG.
