Amazing that the test series with Pakistan was only a 2 test series but alas just like football and many other sports money is the Be-all and end-all Mr K.

Agreed, a test series should always be at least three games. I am actually going to the ODI v Australia at Old Trafford on the 24th. 😎

Cost me about £89 I think. One of my Christmas presents this year was a years membership at the other Old Trafford so was able to purchase tickets in a good area earlier and at a discount. :)

And if England get bowled out for 57, it could be a very short expensive day ! ;)

The beauty of Test cricket is that there is time for the game to switch one way then another, both teams have a second innings/chance. Once a one day game goes one way, it gets very boring/predictable - great if it goes to the last ball but very few do. I'm obviously in a minority going by attendance figures !

That is the vexed question Jim as different strips can be totally different.

The wickets at old Trafford have been very true recently, unless there is a dramatic change in the weather I predict another shirt front.
