Test Match Venues

There has been huge controversy in England about the fact that one of the main test venues is going to miss out each season. Headingly is the unlucky venue this year and has been pinpointed as the weakest link as most of the matches end within 3 days, cutting back the revenue for the ECB. Old Trafford was close as they have problems with weather, Manchester = rain.

The funny thing is that although Headingly is a lottery I bet if the England players had to vote, it would be Lords that would get the push. Lots of glory and all that but until England bury the hoodoo against Australia there it will be a monkey on our backs. The opposition always play up there and you only have to look at the nervous, amateurish display that we put on last week compared to this confident, dynamic team that are currently 'winning' at Edgbaston. This Edgbaston team are the same ones who humbled the Windies, NZ and South Africa last year - and I say: lets do anything we can to help the lads and dump Lords.
