Fantasy cricket anyone ???

Cheers Sabre.

Should get the fantasy comp going again too in the off season.

Nice to see ODIs in Aus before new years. Feels like they are always more of an afterthought. Breaking up test matches is nice for the fans, too.

Although 2 Chappell/Hadlee series in one year is a bit much, don't you think? In the mid to late 2000s, NZ/Aus were playing each other every year and people got sick of it. Well, except us Kiwis, we can never get enough of playing you guys.

Saffas and Pakis in the one summer. Looking forward to this, Pakis especially.

Wish they'd turf the internation T20's, the BBL is on during the whole summer.

Cricket Oz on the ball again

Play the Tests v the Saffas that will draw big numbers at the smallest capacity and then the Pakistanis get SCG ,MCG and Gabba

I agree.
T20 should be for Domestic cricket only.

It's especially annoying having the T20s at the end of the summer. It's like the end of the ODI series in January is when the cricket season actually ends.

I would assume it is because SA want to get back home to play their own Boxing Day test.
