On a separate but related topic, would there be many people who attend all or most of their team's home major league baseball games? You'd presumably have to be retired or have a very favourable work schedule to do so.

AH is echoing what Vaughan said at stumps yesterday, if not quite as stridently (any other Sheff Wed offering?).
If Australia get 250 ahead it'll likely be late this afternoon (rain is possible). Thus a decent chance of draw surely?

Greenlander's knowledge of Florida State League trivia will never cease to amaze me.
The answer to Sporting's question will differ by club and has changed over time.
Fifty years ago, about half of the thousands of "season tickets" that either of the New York clubs would sell would have been owned by individuals, most of whom would attend a good percentage of the 81 home matches (even then, it was rare for fans to get to all of them). The others would be owned by corporate entities who used them to entertain clients and colleagues. Personal ownership was even more prevalent outside of New York. As time has gone by and the cost of tickets has increased substantially (particularly at the new Yankee Stadium), the percentage owned by corporates has increased and is now likely close to 80-90 percent. Many of those owned by individuals are now shared, so that each member of the group gets to go to one of every two, three or four games.
There are still a handful of fans with long attendance streaks, but they are increasingly rare. When I was a kid, the idea of having a season ticket and going to every game was a principal life goal. Now that I can actually do so, it strikes me as a very strange allocation of my time.

I understand that you want to take the England win completely out of the equation so Lyon can have full on attacking fields. One of the problems Moeen had was that he had 3-4 men on the boundary all the time, so he couldn't build pressure (and another problem was that he wasn't bowling with enough control).
