Test cricket returned to Headingley in 2006 after a brief hiatus, when even the Yorkshire members acknowledged that it needed some work.
Yorkshire cleared up the ownership of the ground in 2005, and have plans afoot for more redevelopment to a unique ground that shares a stand with the adjacent rugby ground.
It also shares changing facilities with the rugby boys, something that will change when the new pavilion is built at the Kirkstall Lane End - the work is currenty under way.
A seamer's paradise, Headingley can usually be relied on for a result.
Indeed, there hasn't been a draw in Leeds since a rain-affected Test against Pakistan in 1996 and that is one of only two stalemates since one of English cricket's most celebrated victories.
In 1981, Ian Botham and Bob Willis combined to see England to an astonishing Ashes victory after being forced to follow on by the Australians as the home side went on to win the urn in a series known ever after as Botham's Ashes.
