Australia Off Season 2013 thread.

So while it would be nice to have longer games to promote longer innings etc, I wonder if it would take the gloss away from tests.

Isn't that the point? It's not like the public follow the SS, so it wouldn't really take away from the main spectacle or anything. They need to try and bridge the gap between tests an FC cricket so it's a good move IMO

Haven't we got a crowded schedule already? Or so the reckoning goes. Everything gets elbowed aside for the BBL anyway. Would just prefer they start producing better pitches (Its not impossible to get results on good wickets inside 4 days) and scheduling the season to be more considerate of the SS. Don't know how they can manage the latter with the BBL. If they have to play the SS in 2 parts then get as many as possible in as prep for home tests and the balance late season for the tours after our summer ends.

they are gonna have 6 rounds in a row before the Boxing Day test, not even Ryobi interrupted, but the BBL going into February is going to completely mess up our test team for the Feb SA tour, which is going to compound the impending humiliation England are dealing us.

The schedule for next season is all about maximizing tv revenue from the Australian summer and literally ignores the preparation of fringe players for international test tours

I was going to say with a home World Cup in less than 2 years this probably isn't the greatest way to prepare and give one of the host nations the best possible chance to win it but then I remembered this is Cricket Australia () whom seem to actually go out of their way to **** their national team over. Don't worry about your country's chances at this massive event though, just make sure you hand over your money for tickets like always.
