Where is the common sense here?

Postby spell_check » Wed May 02, 2007 10:31 pm

Australia do not play in anything over the winter months.

Neither does Bangladesh.

So why aren't we playing them this year instead of next year as part of a 20 Test Match schedule?

Apparently there is some sort of agreement that there would be no winter tours until next year, but where is the common sense here?

Should the players not get some sort of break?

When? Two Tests and three one dayers take somewhere between 3 to 4 weeks - there is nothing else until that 20/20 WC in September. Yes the players should get some sort of break, but if you think it is ideal to get almost no breaks at all next year, then fine.

Playing Bangladesh is a break. They could rest eight regulars and still win the series.
