Doubt it'll end in a draw. It's never a good idea to buy tickets for the fourth and fifth days - they're hardly ever sold out and go for £15 on the door.

Well it depends, if England draw then you've got your moneys worth. But the most likely scenerio is a RSA win, so as mentioned above you'll see a lot of empty seats.

Yes.

That equates to £21.50 per 90 minutes. How much would a ticket to a match between the best two football teams in the world cost?

Or a ticket to the Wimbledon Final?

Or the Rugby World Cup final?

If cheapness rather than quality is your main criteria get yourself down to your local park on a Sunday afternoon and watch for free.

You will come to know the result at the end of 90 mins, whereas in cricket..?

That's the beauty of cricket - uncertainty. We don't expect football fans to appreciate the beauty of cricket.

Uncertainty is in every sport.

If you just want to know the score, read the paper the day after.

The point of spectating is what you see and the entertainment you get as the game unfolds.

Test cricket is still good value compared to other top-level sport on that basis... but hey, its a free world. Don't go if you don't think its worth it... it'll be one more ticket available for someone who really appreciates the game.
