scheduling must be in question

ostensibly we've had 2 ashes series back to back to avoid a clash with the world cup. but it was clearly about money too.

not sure how much thought was given to players welfare. they seem to be fairly frazzled and with good reason. obviously winter tours are nothing new but that pressure combined with all the extra importance we attach to ashes series, and then having two of them back to back is a recipe for burnout
