if there ends up being how do you buy tickets can you just turn up and what,s the cost roughly

Hi,

The only time I pr booked was for a one-dayer against India long time ago. Other matches we have just turned up at the ground.

The price depends on who is playing. Tests against Zimbabwe have been free, while England tour in 2007 was quite expensive.

According to the ';Future tours programme'; Pakistan are in SL in August, with NZ in September, BUT these are subject to change.

most games are played in Colombo with one or two in Kandy, Dambulla or Galle. You can get to any of these from Browns but it would be an incredible tek, far better to stay nearer to the actual location for a day or two at least (and good to get to other parts of the island, and for little relative cost).

there is ABSOLUTELY no need to buy tickets in advance for games in SL, just pay on the day, even when Englan were there in 2007. Prices increase for ';popular'; teams, but we are talking up to 拢5 for a day (best seats) rather than UK prices. Grass bank type ';locals areas'; cost less than 50p a day, if you can persuade the gate sellers that is where you want to be (helps if you can blag a bit in Singhala).

After the horrific attack on the SL team in Pakistan today I wouldn%26#39;t have thought they%26#39;d be playing for a while...

On a plus note though, just join in with the kids whenever you se them playing, it%26#39;s a right laugh and they are pretty good!!!
