Can anybody explain to me why the SA cricket schedule is so bad? Is this purely because of cricket SA not getting there ducks in a row or is everybody else's schedule full?
We are playing a tri-series ODI tournament against Aus and WI in June. Then 2 tests against NZ in Aug. Followed by a 5 match ODI series in SA against Aus in Sept/Oct and then have no cricket until the tests against Sri Lanka in mid December. ESPN Cricinfo | South Africa | / Fixtures
Why not 3 tests against NZ? Why are we playing 2 ODI series against Aus this year and could fit no Tests following the second series? (We are totally free mid Oct through Nov I can't find if Aus has anything scheduled during this time?
I understand that ODI`s bring in more revenue it just seems so arbitrary sometimes. I know as a SA supporter I really want to see SA play more test cricket. Is this a thing of the Big 3 wanting to play each other instead? Does anybody know how this scheduling works (I understand it is organized by the countries cricket bodies and not the ICC). Is there any possibility of improving this season for SA or is this pretty set in stone.
