Crikey. Tickets for next summer's Ashes Tests go on sale tomorrow for the Trent Bridge Test. Tickets of £80 are £20 a day more than i've paid before. including my friends, I'll spend £1030, their share I won't get back until the day of the match. I think I've actually gone beyond the price I'm willing to pay, but I've already said I'll get the tickets.

At those prices, I don't think it will sell out.

Tickets at Riverside are £80. Lord's and the Oval ask you to go into a ballot, but won't tell you how much the tickets cost!

If someone who has missed two days international cricket at TB in the past 15 years, is struggling, then maybe prices are too high. I suppose we'll have to see how sales go. I guess most people won't go every day....

Very sorry to hear that NZ great Martin Crowe has some kind of lymphoma.

Crowe was my boyhood hero and I wish him well.

Took me six hours of queueing to get on the TB ticket office site to buy tickets. Then when I clicked on 'complete purchase', the site froze. So I still don't know if I got tickets.

Cracking read Grey, it would be interesting to see a follow up as to why you think the Windies have lost their way.

Majola has been found guilty of doing a very good impression of a British MP by Cricket South Africa.

I laughed when it said, guilty on all charges, 'may lose job'. But then remembered that the MPs didn't.

I didn't. But i emailed Notts CCC to tell them that there were problems with the website. Not to complain. And they said I could have tickets for the first two days. Well done Notts.

Though I have given them £720...
