Will be if it’s May then the commentators can resume their pisstake on the northern weather instead of highlighting the fact the ecb give us tests when it’s generally still cold up here.

Not Zimbabwe granted but I reckon a day at the test, even at say £80 a pop is miles better value than say a premiership football match. I look forward to going every year.
TBH its better watching it on TV

I couldn't get a ticket for the Oval this year but it is normally one of my highlights of the year. What with ticket + food/beer + travel and maybe a hotel, it's an expensive day out but it is a once a year treat. No real difference to those who go to the more expensive gigs/festivals. A Premier League match has to be one of the lowest value for money tickets in sport.
England is one of the few countries where Test matches still sell out so reducing the ticket prices wouldn't allow more to attend, it would just make them harder to get.

No way Durham will be getting Zimbabwe in May it's more likely to be Nepal in November.

Would love it to be up here although suspect the crowd would be so poor that it wouldn't be worth it.
Mind, I paid £90 for a Lords ticket to see Ireland and was still surprised how full it was.

£2.50 a day at Galle was what I call great value. I felt a bit ripped off paying a tenner at Kandy for the following test.

i agree, i love watching cricket live, but i do love the analysis and the commentary,
anyone used those ear pieces before? seem them loads at the tests and ODI's are they a radio broadcast of the Sky comms, is it relatively in sync
I have used one and they are very good, I think you could chose TMS or sky. I went to a 20/20 match at Taunton and it could have been a mime act, just saw batsmen swinging and heard a clunk, dont think I saw the ball once
Could have been the cider

It’s exactly in sync as the broadcast to the earpiece radios is apparently from within the ground. Worth the £15 as they will continue to work if you go to other internationals. (Not the ones from the 2019 World Cup mind!)
