Headingley cricket tickets
Headingley is hosting the second ODI between England and Sri Lanka on Friday 1st July, 2011
Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds
Historically, Headingley Cricket Ground has favoured swing bowling and has seen some short matches, but those days are long gone. These days the pitch is good for batting and you can expect a Test to last five days.
The ground was also the scene of the most significant Test during ‘Botham’s Ashes’ in 1981, when England, following-on, managed to achieve a narrow lead thanks to Ian Botham and the tail-end batsmen, before Bob Willis bowled Australia out to achieve one of the most famous and unlikely England victories of all time.
