How so?It's a normal work day, with Pakistan dead and buried before the day began.
Surely England the country that supposedly loves Test cricket or Cricket could muster more than 6,533 people.
Imho pakistan being dead and buried should have nothing to do with it if the ticket were sold an ages ago.
and just 7 days ago half the tickets available for this test were available and about 40% of tickets are available for the oval test.
Quite pathetic how so many people are happy to brush it aside.
The match situation would only help walk in sales and surely Lancashire were not dependent on Walk in sales for a Test match.
suspect the english comm will embarrass themselves when the odi/T20 start when their start bashing the pakistani fans for turning up.
Cricket is dead in this country more should be done to get 45 percent of people that do not come to the cricket ground each summer to watch cricket, more should be done to convert them to english supporters, more should be done to get them to the county circuit and more should be done to help the cricket in the cities.
