The Headingley question has been raised several times over the last year or so. I can't find the reason, but my memory is that, at some time, it was stated that there was a ground re-development going on there which made test matches impossible there this year. Is there a Yorkshireman somewhere on the board who can confirm this (or debunk it and tell us the truth)? Virtually all the commentators agree that we should be in Leeds next, not Manchester.

As to the idea of dropping Lord's, Greg, well - we can dream! But it's never going to happen in this traditional game of ours, so let's not dream for too long!
