No idea why we have gone for Cardiff again.

The powers that be will count Birmingham and Nottingham as north anyway.

Urgh, Cardiff again.

Apparently the locations were decided a while back, these are just the dates being announced

Absolute joke how the ECB bend over backwards to give Cardiff the big games but then let them turn down smaller ones.

I also wonder if Harris, Johnson, Rogers and Haddin manage to maintain their form/bodies until mid-2015

And only TWO tests for New Zealand again - grrrr!
I still can't believe that we didn't win at Eden Park and then collapsed for 70-odd with a winnable chase at Lord's. (Okay, I can believe it, but it still annoys me)

Apologies for hijacking an Ashes thread.

Headingley should always be first on the list - take out the dark years and we have a cracking record there

Well, nice to see Trent Bridge get a test, anyway.

Cardiff tho; ugh. I mean, sure, if a flat pitch and rain's your thing, then knock yourself out, but really?

Good to see a thread devoted to real cricket between the better nations back on the front page.

All the England fans should be happy with Cardiff. They have a good record there against Australia. At least Durham didn't get a test. Thank **** for that.

Should have been

Trent Bridge
Lord's
Edgbaston
Headingly
The Oval

Same can be said of Anderson, Broad and Bell. Ok not so much the 2nd series for Anderson and Bell but they are vital to England's chances.

About time we got an 18 month wait before our glorious home regaining of the Ashes.
