Nor me not liking it but what can the boards do

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

It's not ideal, but will help ease the situation we have had this winter where the World Cup is following a gruelling tour.

Have to agree with you there Tom. The Ashes has a special atmosphere around it and to have it too frequent will dent that for me

Is being in Aus for 5 months really that different from being in aus for 3 and then in India for 2 like this winter?

It's looking like it could well be 2013 Ashes, then into the 13/14 Ashes then into the 2014 T20 World Cup (Bangladesh) then IPL.

Hopefully they cut down on the meaningless ODI's in between.

So we play them here and then go out there, just trying to get my head round it.

\Would be ok as long as they don't tack a 7 match ODI series onto the end of the Ashes tour.

I thought they had to have the 7 ODI's due to the status the ashes test series has
