Your guide to the most important meal of the day in the middle of an Ashes Test match. <\/p>
The Ashes is an absorbing contest that demands maximum concentration and energy from every participant on the field.<\/p>\n
As the deliveries tick by, time wears on, lunch can be a crucial part of the schedule of the day with batters determined to cling on until the break if they find themselves under the cosh.<\/p>\n
As well as a milestone around which to shape an innings, lunch is often a fairly decadent affair for professional sport.<\/p>\n
Much depends on individual preferences but the aim of the game is to fuel up without being weighed down.<\/p>\n
Of course, not every cricket player adheres to a strict diet regime during a Test match, with countless anecdotes of larger than life characters helping themselves to larger than life portions in the heat of battle.<\/p>\n
