[Richard]

When was this announced?

 

[PhoenixFire]

That's odd going just for an ODI series.

 

[Craig]

That's odd going just for an ODI series.

But you forget $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Anyhow I miss the first game on the account of likely being in Suttgart and the second one because I will be in a Singapore Airlines aeroplane.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Damn I hate the IC$C$, damn them to hell. Forget money and do the old 6/7 test series.

 

[Craig]

Agreed.

Who has enough buil up rage to lead a revolutation?

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yourself, Silenstriker and I, although I'm not sure whether Manan is really into revolutions.

 

[Richard]

Well I do FTR, when I want to, but nah, I'm not into revolutions. 7-Test-series never happened, though - it was just the odd few 6-game series in Australia in the 1970s and England in the 1980s and 1990s (usually between said 2 teams), and very occasionally elsewhere.

Seems really odd playing ODIs in Australia in September and October - won't like virtually no-one be interested?

 

[Nishant]

i dont mind ODIs...but not so many in such quick succession...the 2020 and then this...u need test cricket...a good 3 match test series and 3-5 ODIs wud have been alrite...but wot the hell is this??

 

[Richard]

Absolutely, seems totally excessive to have 14 ODIs in the space of about 8 weeks. Don't see why anyone would be really enthusiastic about that, least of all the players.

Not saying I won't be watching, 'cos there's some variation for me, I enjoy Aus-Ind almost as much as Eng-Ind; but for those who don't (which is almost everyone) it surely gets boring, I'd imagine.

The series is in India.

 

[Athlai]

20/20 matches should be first IMO, liven up the game with the fun little match at the start, why make it the finale? What if its a total white wash the interest level would drop completely, silly move IMO.

 

[Speersy]

What time will these be on in Australia, hopefully not too late.

 

[The_Bunny]

7 - 0 to Aus

india would playe 20 ODI between 2 test aganist Eng and Pak. i wonder any team have played so many ODIs in a trot, u can add the 5-6 20/20 also into it

 

[Chubby Rain]

I think its some sort of payback deal for making India play neutral ODIs in the aussie series.

Or perhaps its India being compensated for having to visit Australia in prime cricketing season everytime.

 

[Prince EWS]

Watson out of the country in September and October. Dire.

 

[Dasa]

7 - 0 to Aus

Could be.

 

[NUFAN]

Why do they bother having a 20/20 match after the series is finished.
