Phillip Hughes CW support banner at Melbourne and Sydney Test match

[duffer]

Did it get on TV?

Yeah, did it? Missed whole day so far, need to get a screeny.

 

[GIMH]

Pics?

 

[Adders]

Just met up with Max and got the flag, will try and get some pics up later.

 

[Burgey]

It's a good thing you blokes are all doing here. Whether the crypto-Nazi officials let it be hung up or not. It's a good thing and you should be proud of it.

 

[Adders]

Flags up, third tier to the right of the members as you look at it. Will try and get some pics up.

 

[Adders]

Sorry guys, cant seem to post pics from my phone. Will have to do them tonight.

Flags directly above the Olympic stand 2006 sign.

 

[Adders]

So no sighting of the flag on TV?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Nope.

 

[zorax]

Ah well, atleast the players and spectators would have seen it.

 

[Adders]

Last one was from where I was actually sitting which was miles away from the flag so it didn't come out the best.

 

[Adders]

Oh and slightly off topic but another remarkable event took place at the MCG yesterday. For what I'm sure will be the only time this summer an Englishman got his hands on the CWC........



Was very tempted to grab it and run off to the hills tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Great stuff Adders.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, because our captain is Irish.

 

[Jono]

wrong thread

While I'm here - good stuff Adders!

 

[Adders]

Yeah, because our captain is Irish.

I'm still in denial about that fact.

Where you there on day 3 Jono? Did you spot the flag?

I had an awesome day, was sat just on the edge of the large Indian contingent..........it was very entertaining I must say.

Well done guys. Doesn't matter if the banner gets on tv or not. A lot of people on the ground would have seen it. This is a great tribute.

So I'm posting both flags up to Dan in Sydney today who is going to days 2 and 3 at the SCG...........they really are both magnificent and the flag makers and wiff (especially) should be congratulated on some excellent work.

Does anyone have an ideas as to what we could ultimately do with the Sean Abbott one? It's a work of art so it would be a shame if it ended up collecting dust in someones shed, but then I really don't know what would be appropriate to do with it now? The "Stay strong Sean" wording really is defunct so I don't think it's an option to give it to his family or first club etc.......what do others think?

A really nice thing could be if we got the School Cricket Team from the school he went to pose with the flag, and then send the photo to him along with the actual flag. Too difficult though, I suppose.

Shouldn't it be coming over here for this summer's Ashes before going back to Aus for next winter's home series and so on and so forth ad infinitum?
