GONE!

Start the car!

A Quick question that somebody may be able to answer:

With rain forecasted for Friday and Saturday is it a near on certainty on play been held on the 5th and final day (Tuesday)? (Providing Tues weather is ok)

(my knowledge on Cricket isnt the best)

Got them this morning!

Hooooked on the Ashes so thought why not attend my first match?

Then somebody laughed and said i should pray the 5th day will be needed.

The financial issue is that if there's no or little play on the 1st 4 days, refunds are available.
If there's no play on the 5th day for whatever reason you've lost your money.
Discounting the weather, on the playing side neither side lokks capable of consistently taking the 20 wickets needed to win a test, so on that score play on the 5th day looks very probable.
Nevertheless I'm going to get a ticket for the 5th day shortly.
I'd hate ( having gone to the 1st 4 days) to miss a possible England victory on the 5th.
An Aussie victory at any stage though would be hard to take!

Very true, that was made clear at the time however with a victory taking us 2-0 up in the series with one to play it fell on deaf ears

Good for you.
It would be gtreat to win back the Ashes at Headingley, can't recall if that's ever happened before.
& I truly was one of the alleged 85000 who were there on the last day in 81.
What a day that was.

How much is a 5th day ticket? knowing my luck we wont have any play that day!

Seeing how nice the weather has been up here recently a few rain delays are not out of the question, so its entirley possibly there will be plenty of action on the 5th day.
