I was at Cardiff yesterday (not paying I hasten to add...was given tickets by a friend who didn't want to go).
I don't know if it came across on TV, but there was absolutely zero atmosphere there. Whichever dork was responsible for any Ashes test being played at that ground - let alone the first one - should be put up against a wall and shot.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

I haven't seen any of the TV coverage but I don't understand why it was being played there? It's England V Australia - not Australia V WalesOriginally posted by PM-Junkie View PostI was at Cardiff yesterday (not paying I hasten to add...was given tickets by a friend who didn't want to go).

It's there because the Wales Tourist board paid £3.5M to the ECB to stage an Ashes test.Originally posted by cailin maith View PostI haven't seen any of the TV coverage but I don't understand why it was being played there? It's England V Australia - not Australia V Wales

As an aside, the ECB is actually the England & Wales Cricket Board.

Undisciplined Aussie attack is being carted by English tail. This is the big difference between the old Aussie attack and the new one. We used to rely on Warne and McGrath to clean up the tail.
