A two test series is ridiculous. If there were a third 'decider' it would have been quite exciting, but with a two test series, you lose the first one and you can't win the series - daft.
Now we've got five ODIs and one Twenty20 against Australia and 3 Twenty20s and 3 ODIs against India before a 5 match test series against India that doesn't start until August! It's no good the ECB moaning about the demise of test match cricket when they schedule virtually none of it for June and none at all for July.
As always with cricket (and sport more generally) it will be the money from TV audiences which dictate most of this. India of course being the biggest TV audience for cricket and therefore guaranteeing them oodles of coverage.
