F**ked up innit? Does anybody know exactly why this is? I heard it was something to do with Murdoch & his lot wanting to put the ashes as late in summer as possible for TV rights but not sure on the exact details

But the one dayers are just for the media frenzied lot, the real battles are the tests, I mean, the captains must be pretty good to keep 10 men focussed through the ups and downs of a 5 day game.
But how can a 5 day match still end in a draw - I reckon they should have the equivalent of penalties at the end, imagine, now what would the rules be....
