actually wales have a county side, Glamorgan, also Simon Jones who was referred to earlier in this thread is a welshman pretty sure there is a couple more in this side

Maybe this is a dumb question but why are England playing Australia at cricket in Wales ?

Apparently the taffs paid 3m for the game...........should have moved it to Canberra, thats where the real money whores/sell outs go

Snuh.  Ap.

Explains the rubbish pitch, with the 4th and 5th days on a Saturday and Sunday they (the Galmorgan Ground Trust or whatever they're called) need the test to go the length to make back their investment and a bit of profit.  It would seem they've done so at the expense of a good game, this is utter gash so far.

Sophia Gardens is indeed the home of Glamorgan. Michael Kasprowicz played there for many years. Ex-England offie Robert Croft still plays there.

The Taffees did indeed pay a motza to host the game, BUT, the ground is modern with good facilities.

Someone needs to spend some serious cash to make Old Trafford up to international standard. Despite the fact it is in Manchester and shares its name with The Theatre of Dreams, Wagga Cricket Ground is as modern as Old Trafford right now.

Interesting to see where this game goes now. If Haddin and Johnson get moving, with North ticking the score over, we could get 600, making England's 2nd innings tricky for them. Rain is forecast for tonight, however.

I'm nominating the bugler as MoM.  He's the hardest working guy on the Engerlund team ... and keeps the paying public amused!

Rain saved England there.... and the fact that they were playing for the draw from about lunch time on day 2

We do need someone who can knock over the tail though.... grr.

This reminds me of the time NZ ran around celebrating like spastics that they had a 0-0 draw in their last game at the confederations cup.

 

[tuftman]

I went to bed after the Formula 1, but did Johnson try badging their tailend at all?
