christ england, wales ****ing sucks

 

[flibbertyjibber]

No idea why we have gone for Cardiff again.

The powers that be will count Birmingham and Nottingham as north anyway.

 

[superkingdave]

Urgh, Cardiff again.

Apparently the locations were decided a while back, these are just the dates being announced

 

[marc71178]

Absolute joke how the ECB bend over backwards to give Cardiff the big games but then let them turn down smaller ones.

 

[Maximas]

Wonder if Cook will still be captain come this series

 

[Maximas]

I also wonder if Harris, Johnson, Rogers and Haddin manage to maintain their form/bodies until mid-2015

 

[Fuller Pilch]

And only TWO tests for New Zealand again - grrrr!
I still can't believe that we didn't win at Eden Park and then collapsed for 70-odd with a winnable chase at Lord's. (Okay, I can believe it, but it still annoys me)

Apologies for hijacking an Ashes thread.

 

[fredfertang]

Headingley should always be first on the list - take out the dark years and we have a cracking record there

 

[uvelocity]

poor form making me look up wtf notting and birming hams are

 

[Scaly piscine]

**** off Cardiff.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Wish Wales was voting for independence in September then this farce wouldn't occur.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well, nice to see Trent Bridge get a test, anyway.

Cardiff tho; ugh. I mean, sure, if a flat pitch and rain's your thing, then knock yourself out, but really?

 

[Burgey]

Good to see a thread devoted to real cricket between the better nations back on the front page.

All the England fans should be happy with Cardiff. They have a good record there against Australia. At least Durham didn't get a test. Thank **** for that.

Should have been

Trent Bridge
Lord's
Edgbaston
Headingly
The Oval

 

[watson]

Wonder whether the Welsh people mind having a Test match in Wales?

 

[Viscount Tom]

Wonder if the Welsh people even know there's gonna be a test match in Wales.

 

[Sean Flynn]

Perhaps we will have a long, hot summer and Kerrigan & Borthwick spin England to victory.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I also wonder if Harris, Johnson, Rogers and Haddin manage to maintain their form/bodies until mid-2015

Same can be said of Anderson, Broad and Bell. Ok not so much the 2nd series for Anderson and Bell but they are vital to England's chances.

 

[GIMH]

About time we got an 18 month wait before our glorious home regaining of the Ashes.

What do you mean? Sri Lanka doesn't play in the ashes.
