Nope it's Wales and England, but it is a shame we hardly get a mention. Saying that, we don't have any players atm.

Never been to an Ashes test or come to think of it any cricket to be honest so bought 2 tickets last night for lords the 5th day on Monday the 22nd of July.

Had a few beers when ordering them but it wasn't till I checked my e-mails today to see what damage it had done to my finesses. £85 each = £170 then the delivery charge and VAT and it came to £199.50 :cry:

It best go to the 5th day and be an epic battle.

That's one hell of a gamble mate, good day if it pays off, but very expensive, plus a whole days beer money.

Ii you have a ticket for the 5th day of a test and the test doesn't make the 5th day, I think you get your money back. I took the gamble when Cardiff held the 1st test, what a brilliant day the 5th can be if the match could still go either way or even a draw. That day in Sophia Gardens was excellant!

I stand corrected, I thought it was non refundable.

Have been questioning my sanity today but instead of dwelling on the prices then I have to look on the bright side that it'll go to the 5th day.

Problem I have is I didn't book them threw the England cricket site but got them of 'GET ME IN' but if either side win by Sunday then ticket holders will get a full refund from the England site but not to sure from 'GET ME IN'.

It's £192 not £199. Doesn't make me feel any better :laughing6:

Ashes is overrated. Only 2 teams ever compete for it. Not really a massive achievement IMO.

And yeah, it's England. Sometimes welsh players play and represent them though.


It's like saying our Welsh football team is Wales and England because Williams plays for us.

Not really it is registered as The England & Wales Cricket Board, but they give it the initials E.C.B.
