Nope. Still got the 5th test to play in this series. Just that England lead 3-1, so have won it.

So why bother playing ghe 5th one if theyve already won it ???

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Because about 80,000 people have already bought tickets for it?

because they have to.....mainly to annoy people who hate/dislike cricket and it gives us a chance to kick a wounded Aussie while they lay on the floor already in pain.

If the last 2 tests are anything to go by a fair chunk of them won't get to see any cricket.

80,000 really, is that a normal crowd or just because they've won something?

spread over 5 days but pretty much a sell out for each day. Tickets were on sale way before the Series started.

20,000 x 4 days (plus any tickets sold for day 5, not that many go in advance though for the final day)

 

[PPB]

Are there people that go to all of the days??

 

[Kenny]

Yep. 4-5 day drinking session basically

 

[PPB]

Yep.

Good grief.

 

[Kenny]

Nope, can't find whats to laugh about. But then I suppose its only England fans getting a little back for the time they got well and truly dicked 5-0 by the Aussies( or have I got that wrong??)

Have normally only been able to afford a fifth day ticket (which usually get sold on the 4th day at much lower price than pre booking in advance) - the way this series is going little chance of this happening this time round.
