This series has been a fantastic contest.

Three Tests aren't enough! Will there be the obligatory 12 match ODI series afterwards?

1 T20 and 5 ODI's which seems pretty low compared to England & Australias 2 T20's and 7 ODI's  :o

It's been a spectacular series. Can it keep up through 5 ODIs?

I've been pretty impressed with India. Bar the 1st game they have applied themselves superbly on pitches that do a little bit and have pace and bounce. Zaheer makes them look a completely different side

I'm very impressed with Kallis. Made of steel, refusing to retire hurt and instead soldiering on. Top player, too.

next time India go to Oz, they're listed to play 11 ODIs. Pure overkill

That is insane. Is it the BCCI who insist on the amount of ODI's? How many tests are they due to play on that tour?

4 Tests and 2 T20s.

I think Oz must be bringing back the tri series, as 11 ODIs vs India is pointless.

BCCI are obsessed with Tests atm, so I doubt they requested so many ODIs

With regards to this series, SA and India can't play more than best of 3 Test series, as it isn't an 'Iconic' series.

At present only 3 series have Icon status The Ashes, Eng vs SA and India vs PAK.

You'd think they'd have to make that a tri-series, otherwise thats an insane amount of ODI's for two teams. Cant imagine the fans interest staying for that either.

Have the BCCI been obsessed with tests lately cos India are number 1?

ICC ranks that series just below the 'Iconic' series, in addition ICC are considering upgrading the series.

Ponting asked for a 5 match series in 2007-08, but ICC declined

Yes I think so. Since 2009 to end of 2011, India will have played 30 Tests, unheard of 10 years ago

Eng vs PAK is in the same bracket as Eng vs India and Oz vs India
