anyone in the queue to buy tickets for Ashes? I've 'won' the opportunity to sit here making excuses as to why i'm 10 mins late for a meeting ! eek
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get on at 9, so now in the queue of angst...
any joy? a friend of mine got through at 10.40 and got tickets for day 3, 4 and 5. She's a single person so could buy more than one day and doesn't need 2 together so i guess had more joy than some.
Over an hour later, nowhere near the finishing line!
2 1/2 hours and counting...
Got through. Only single tickets available for Day 2, so got one in the Peter May (£100)
Unwilling to spend any more on pairs of tickets for other days, at those prices might try and head up to Headingley/OT for a day's play!
logged on at 10 (yes bit late I know). 2 and a half hours later discovered only a few singles left for day 2 which is what we wanted. Got 2 for day1 where there was still quite a bit of availability. must be a better way! Now have tickets for Edgbaston, OT and the Oval. Missed out on Headingly. Lords not yet on sale
It only took five minutes to get my Ashes tickets today. I guess I'm lucky in that I work Thursday and Fridays, and umpire Saturdays, so Sunday is always the best day to go for me. It also means that I have a very good chance of seeing a test match finish!
The Indian bookies all over that , bent as a nine bob note that game . Before the match India went from 1.7 on betfair to 2.2 and they won the toss ! Pretty obvious what’s taken place there . Prolly read about it in a few years time

Admittedly that's a big jump in odds but would they not have gone out because a) india left their most experienced player out and b) it's better to bat second?

India won the toss !! Aussies batted first in the previous semi and smashed the Windies
Initially I thought the same Suz......but then thinking about it it’s not the same scenario as a run out where the batsman’s foot/hand/bat etc have to be grounded. For a bowler part of his foot only has to be behind the line but not necessarily grounded......I believe I am correct in saying that. If I am, then that was a fair delivery...... can someone confirm. Having said that, it was a damn close call either way.

England 84-2 off 22 with both Burns (14) and Jennings (13) gone. SL have once again blown their reviews before lunch.
Bairstow 34* (45)
Root 18* (30)
Bairstow 42* (58) and Root 28* (41) both batting very well
