Too much cricket

Hold on tight, kids. This update's about tour itineraries.

England will be playing three - count 'em - THREE back to back Tests in New Zealand next year. This is stupid and makes all the England and Wales Cricket Board's protestations about how they're going to reduce the number of England matches sound very hollow.

We like cricket. We write about it every day. However, you can have too much. We've written before about how a Test match used to be 'an event'. We'll not go over that again, but perhaps there should be an extra word about back-to-back Tests.
