LateRooms.com - Head to Brisbane for 5th Commonwealth Bank Series Clash

    BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, January 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Globe to Globe World Music Brisbane hotels will see another influx of cricket fans in the new year as the city hosts the fifth match of the Commonwealth Bank One Day International (ODI) series between Australia and England.

The hosts will be out for victory when they face off with the Poms at the Gabba on January 30th 2011, after being held to a frustrating draw despite having the tourists on the ropes when the sides met at the ground in the first Test of the Ashes series.

However, the Baggy Greens' recent form in the 50-over game has not been great - they suffered a 2-1 loss in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in November 2010.

The ODI campaign could be finely poised by the time it arrives in the Queensland capital, following clashes in Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney and Adelaide.

With that in mind, demand for tickets is likely to be high and anyone keen to watch the match would be advised to seek out cheap hotels in the area well in advance.

General admission costs just A$45, while fans who insist on getting the best view possible can pick up platinum passes from A$90.

Cheap hotels Brisbane customers and other fans should arrive at the ground in plenty of time for the start of play, which is scheduled for 13:20 local time.
