Down under, we need pace, not Potts and Woakes. We’ve retired our best bowler to look at others, but we aren’t!

Wood is fast, Atkinson looks fast, Archer is fast the odd time he is fit. All a lot faster than Glen McGrath was

Not exactly a full house there today. Which is disappointing. Test match cricket is definitely losing it's appeal. For me, it'll always be the ultimate form of the game.

What's test cricket shown by in the UK these days? Sky?

I was going to go with my eldest today but decided against due to a shit forecast (£54 each is a lot to pay when the weather is bad)

Lancs all out 204, Surrey struggling (83 for 0)

I’m kind of assuming that Archer won’t play test cricket again.mi might be wrong.

We’ve got Stone to look at too, but aren’t.

Wood can only bowl 20 overs or so.

It's a fair bit to pay with a good forecast. I'm guessing the Sri Lankans wouldn't be as big a draw as the Aussies Windies or South African. Shirley, the ECB could have pitched prices a bit lower (£35-40?). Empty seats won't bring in any money.

Don’t Lancs bid an amount to get a test match and then choose their pricing themselves?

I assumed that, with it being an England game, the ECB would have a big say in ticket prices.

I assume the ECB choose the prices but AHT might be right
