The spring and autumn of cricket

Our best summer months of Jan and Feb are cricket-less for the men
16 T20I's is fucken ridiculous.Only good point worth mentioning is we do have one of the higher number of tests in the next WTC cycle with 16 in total. Clearly 90% of which must be overseas.

At least we’re good at getting clean sweeps in India

Horseshit schedule, what the fuck, we obviously have no interest in actually growing the game here

'the game' is T20. Everything else is apparently an anachronism.
T20 just fades into a blancmange of bland sixes that don't mean anything. It's boring. Tests are where it's at!

Unfortunately, the schedule is designed to be preparation for the T20 WC. And money talks.

We had no home test cricket this year. That was shit. I can't believe it's going to happen again.

The time is ripe for a Kerry Packer style "Supertest" rebellion - hiring all the batsmen that would rather bat like Bradman and Boycott, rather than BMac.
Fines to be issued for excessive runrates....

Rahul Dravid could get a recall......I remember falling asleep watching on the couch when he came out to bat then waking up about half an hour later and he was still on 0.......

@MN5 Hashim Amla was particularly adept at putting up the wall as well, e.g. https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3309826/amlas-record-breaking-go-slow-staves-off-defeat

Unfortunately I can’t see it getting better anytime soon - this isn’t just a one off bad summer. Most of them are like this now or similar.
And trying to hype up the village level Super Smash for Jan/Feb? Please.

We haven't played a test since December last year......we're not due to play another til December THIS year.
Windies are touring, should be a good chance for a number of our guys to pad their averages ( although the Windies have unearthed a few good pace bowlers of late ) but according to this we only have a total of THREE tests this summer ?
What am I missing ?

Windies have just rolled Australia for 180.
But yeah, we aren’t a viable commodity globally despite our results - and the ICC is a toothless tiger in dealing with T20 leagues. There should be international windows carved out (or franchise windows depending on your POV) Ala football - which is not a perfect system but international cricket risks dying if it keeps this up -

Seales and Joseph with 9 wickets between them. Great effort.
Their batting is another story, Kraigg Brathwaite has battled to 99 tests with a career average of 33. Says it all considering none of the others average over 30.

@NTA any reason Smith and Bus change aren't playing ?
