Morgan Cole Lounge

Cherrapunjee is a town in East Khasi Hills in India and is credited as being the wettest place on Earth. Over 450 inches (1,000 cm) of rain falls every year.
In 2008, Cardiff is on target to push Cherrapunjee into second place on the Wet List.
England were scheduled to meet South Africa in the Fifth 1-​Day Cricket International of the 2008 Tour, but hopes of a 5 – 0 clean sweep were washed away by persistent rain, bringing England’s season to a soggy anticlimax.
The Morgan Cole Lounge is located on the first floor of the new Pavilion at The Swalec Stadium, home of Welsh Cricket. It has its own bar and high quality restaurant, and is part of the Business Club which is the last word in comfort and quality. So it is a good place to be holed up during a washed-​out game. Customers receive individual attention consistent with a five star facility. Seats on the dedicated viewing terrace are allocated individually to clients, and provide an uninterrupted, panoramic view of the action on the field. (Or lack of it, as was the case on this occasion).
The food is exceptionally good. Typical choices include starters of a trio of gravadlax, smoked haddock and fresh Wye salmon, mains of Noisettes of Welsh Lamb, green beans wrapped in pancetta, and diced Brecon potatoes, and to follow there could be Open Glamorgan Apple Tart, followed by a sumptuous board of Welsh cheeses.
The personnel are a little new to large scale dining, this is clear, and some seem nervous or po-​faced. This can change with time, one hopes.
Just for the record, only three overs out of a scheduled 100 were possible, during which England succeeded in taking a scalp — Stuart Broad, in his only over, had Herschelle Gibbs caught behind, stretching outside his off stump to drive, only to get a thick edge that was brilliantly caught one-​handed by Matt Prior, diving to his right in front of first slip.
The Ashes are coming to Cardiff in 2009 — see you there!
