When test cricket cant' sell out on day 1 in England you know test cricket is probably fked in the not too distant future.
Don't think there's a problem with test cricket in this country as such just a problem with the location of this test. Shame as it looks to be a nice ground. FourWheelDrift said:
One sided test.
It's got poor attendance because who wants to watch Sri Lanka fielding a poor side?
You could also remove the last 4 words on the sentence above.
Would help though if Tests in the North were only from mid June onwards.It's got poor attendance because who wants to watch Sri Lanka fielding a poor side?

I agree this series is pointless though. Not even decent prep for a weak Crim squad.

I used to go to test matches, but that was when tickets where £40 or £50 for a decent seat in the mound stand or Warner at Lords. Now it is £95
plus travel and inevitable champagne bill, it's getting toward £250 for the day out.
Tickets prices too high for these lesser teams.
Pretty sure Lords are still sold out though...plus travel and inevitable champagne bill, it's getting toward £250 for the day out.

10,000 for Chef 169 days younger than Tendulkar when he got there.
Simply astounding. I've said for many a year now that he'll end up top of the pile by the time he retires. Not as adventurous as I'd like with his captaincy but an absolute beast of a batsman to have on your side.Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
