    Any of you guys know how likely it is to see a decent amount of action on day 5 of an ashes test match? Tickets on sale for Headingley, £20 but non refundable if there's no cricket.

    Complete gamble if you get them, could easily be a great day or no play at all.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Day 5 at Headingly?

    Unlikely. It's traditionally a results pitch where swing is highly effective and with two pretty gung-ho batting sides.

    I'd wait and take advantage of the 'come in for free as you're only going to see an hour of play' offers that will be announced on day 4. If it lasts that long.

    I actually think we'll win.

    I'm going to day 4 so it better not be over 2 fast.

    A nice win late on day 4'll suit me fine!

    Headingley tests always get a result. Not always the right one. Went yesterday and a food stall was serving all sorts. Now i've tried Kangaroo before but I was put off trying Ostrich. The sign said it's low in fat, lean and low in carbs. It must taste of nothing. They were selling other things as well like Grasshoppers I think as well.

    What's the food stall got to do with always getting a result at Headingley?

    Bumped this thread from 2 months ago for those that haven't noticed, thought it was pretty funny after England's dismal performance.
