Its really messed up the schedule this summer. Basically the best bit of the season all

completely taken up by one day, T20 and Hundred and then squeezing the tests and the 4 day games in at the beginning and end of the summer.

Bit of a nonsense that our test team faces India in about 10 days time having played basically no red ball cricket at all since the NZ series ended. And they no doubt end up wondering why none of our batsmen show the technique or application for test match batting after we collapse against india (althoigh we are capable of that anyway).
