Colinjb Posted 22 September, 2011 Share Posted 22 September, 2011 Was it ever possible? Did HCC try to get the games there? With all the recent building work down there it was surely an aim. Edit: 2013* Any idea why we are hosting it two series in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 22 September, 2011 Share Posted 22 September, 2011 (edited) Edit: 2013* Any idea why we are hosting it two series in a row? summer 2013 in England, will be summer 2014 in Australia then back to England for summer of 2015. I guess. Something to do with it being brought closer due to a world cup. Edited 22 September, 2011 by skintsaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've changed a few ashes schedules around so it doesn't clash with the world cup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 22 September, 2011 Share Posted 22 September, 2011 Saw the interview with Rod Bransgrove and he was absolutely gutted. I think it's an absolute joke tbh and Cardiff have got another FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecuk268 Posted 23 September, 2011 Share Posted 23 September, 2011 Saw the interview with Rod Bransgrove and he was absolutely gutted. I think it's an absolute joke tbh and Cardiff have got another FFS! Is the Chairman of Glamorgan still on the board of the EWCB? Not that it would have anything to do with Cardiff getting another Test.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have made any difference, Hampshire have paid their staging fee for the Sri Lanka test match, albeit a bit later than planned. Glamorgan still owe loads of money.

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 23 September, 2011 Share Posted 23 September, 2011 Seems unfair that Cardiff have got test ahead of others. On a personal note glad Old Trafford has got a test and always enjoy going to Trent Bridge tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 23 September, 2011 Share Posted 23 September, 2011 (edited) Our biggest problem is we're too near London. In all fairness, they do need to spread it around, so I don't really have a problem with it all. Not sure why they're sticking with Cardiff after poor sales recently. Give Edgbaston, Headingly and Old Trafford more tests. Edited 23 September, 2011 by This Charming Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Edgbaston, Headingly and Old Trafford more tests. To be honest this argument is rubbish! The Rosebowl is approx 84 miles from Lords and The Oval. Trent Bridge is 53 miles from Edgbaston, 78 from Headingley and 85 from Old Trafford; Headingley is 53 miles from Old Trafford and 90 from The Riverside (or whatever it's called now).
