Manchester is in a problem area owing to its geography, Leeds isn't as bad. Also, Old Trafford is a shit ground.
Personally, I think Lords and the Oval should rotate as it's kind of unfair to have 2 of the 5 in London then 3 covering Edgbaston, Trent Bridge, Old Trafford, Headingley as well as grounds like the Rose Bowl and Sophia Gardens. That coupled with Lords always being used for another test tour in the same summer, it always has two tests. And we have a shit record against the Aussies at Lords.
