I'm going to negative here but who goes.
Who decided to have a Test at the Lords, on the weekend when there is the beginning of a major Football Tourament. On a ground which seems to be heading towards a bore draw.
It is funny Lords is always a awful flat track, where they know they are likely to get 5 full days of play, except for a miracle, and a ground which doesn't need the money, yet the first 2 tests, were morealess over at the End on day 2.
I don't get why the commentators, and players, make Lords seem to be a great place, but it is something out of the dark ages, quiet boring no atmosphere, it is like the MCC are wanting test cricket to fail, by having boring cricket, at so say the Home of Cricket, more like the morque of cricket, no fancy dress, mainly just posh nobs, wearing red and yellow ties etc, probably wearing red trousers.
I prefer to watch it when the atmosphere appears on the TV, I'm 41, so I'm not a young one, who feels test matches shouldn't happen, but they should be good for batting and bowling.
