Any idea if a fixture is out for the 2015/2016
Summer in Australia? If not when would it be released?

The apparent schedule:
Oct 2015: 2 tests vs Bangladesh in Bangladesh.
Nov-Dec: 3 tests vs New Zealand in Aust.
Dec-Jan: 3 tests vs West Indies in Aust.
Jan-Feb: 7 ODI's & 2 T20's vs India in India.
Feb: 3 tests vs New Zealand in NZ.
March: 5 ODI's & 3 T20's vs South Africa in S.A.
March-April: T20 World Cup in India.

So no ODI or T20 internationals in Aust during the summer? Interesting.

According to the following site.

Looking forward to an Aus v NZ test series.

Does that mean the Boxing Day test this year is against West Indies?

Would be better if we were playing New Zealand I reckon.

Good to see we're having 3 Tests against NZ this time. Are they still talking a day-night test in Adelaide?

But why are there so many times we play virtually back-to-back series against teams and then nothing for 4-5 years? Done it against South Africa a few times, South Africa and India a couple of series within 15 months, and now NZ and the Windies. Given there are so many teams this happens to, couldn't a few be swapped around?
Same with three Ashes series within two years. Understand the thing about the World Cup, so why not have made them next year in Australia and just reverse the 2.5/1/5 year gap once and then England in 2017? Don't get me wrong, I loved the series last year and looking forward to this winter, but it just doesn't make sense. Or are the cricket authorities worried about the game and trying to keep big series in the public as much as possible?

It would appear there will be no cricket at Adelaide Oval on Australia Day again....

I would think so the teams don't change that much, I actually think it's better that way.

I'm pretty keen to see the test world cup coming up, they are timeless tests too, only the top 4 ranked nations will play off.

Mentioned on SEN today that the Adelaide test v the Kiwis will be a day/night test

The Night shield games have been a borefest with an imbalanced contest between bat and ball. Adelaide already cops enough criticism that Test matches are boring until all is forgotten after lunch on day 5 when it leaps into life..
