Good to see Test Cricket back at Headingley,not sure that breaking with tradition and NOT playing the first Test at Lords is a good move.
Better to get the defeat early on for England IMO.

I'm not so sure Ern. One could say it would be better to get off to a good start for a change. If England get a win in the first test, it might well give them momentum to go to Lords and win that one as well.

I must say that i am disappointed that they did not go for a 6 test series. I know C.A were pushing for it (both in England and Australia) but the ECB vetoed it.

Surely Lord's has only had the first test for about the last five or six years? My "traditional" memory (for which read ancient) is that it was always the second test that was played there. No time to check!

I agree it's a shame to see Trent Bridge fall out of the schedule.

We might make you guys play one in Darwin, Northern Territory next time just to see how much you sweat

Is that really three tests in three weeks (third, fourth and fifth)? Will these administrators never learn?

I think it will all come down to quality performers like flintoff coming back, but that doesnt look likely! Andrew Flintoff fails with the bat yet again - Cricket News - Telegraph
