I like the tri series if it is going to be this long (anything more than 3 games), and would take Spelly idea of half price tickets for non-Aussie games and would it be such a bad idea to use some regional venues (as done in the World Cup)
I was feeling like this the last couple of years, but this year's series has had me looking forward to every game and captivated by most of the cricket. Perhaps it is in response to the contintual juggernaut of 20-20 cricket.
The idea of using regional venues is an excellent one, and could really help promote cricket in some struggling country areas.
The tri-series suffers because the same teams don't come back next year to try again like a footy premiership. An idea might be a tri-nation series similar to the Rugby Union every two years between Aus, S Africa and NZ, with home and away games. Perhaps 5 games in each country against each team, and then a best-of-five final. Potentially 15 games, but could be held from Nov to Feb. Every two years might give it a bit more meaning.
