Manchester in autumn?
Who the feck decides these dates and venues.
The usual suspects down south will get their cash whilst Lancs take a loss.
Well. Get used to it, I'm afraid. Next summer is the World Cup anyway, but this is the pattern they have decided upon now, with the heart of the summer given over to white ball cricket, both domestically and internationally. This summer was just a taste of that.
As for venues, there are now only going to be six Tests per summer, and three of those will be in London - two at Lords, one at the Oval. The rest of the country can scramble around for the remaining three Tests a year.
But it's the ECB. A more duplicitous organisation would be hard to find. They make the FA look slick and caring.

Will it last till the 4th day? ;)
There is that and also the chance of heavy rain in Manchester in September :-/
Congrats, I missed out but have been told a second chance offer open on 29th 0ct to try again
The weather when we have a test match is usually good and to be fair the pitch is also fair and games mainly lasts for five days.
