Long way away but it's great news that Cardiff will be hosting a test match.
Read an article the other day about Ian Botham adding to the 'controversy' other Cardiff being chosen other other venues. Bit unfair really, and looking at the details for the new Gardens it's more than worthy.
Yeah, it's a bit discriminatory otherwise. I can understand why some people think it's wrong going to Cardiff after many tests in England only but it makes sense to include everyone, almost like Britain instead of England.
