I am a bit surprised to see only three tests each against West Indies and South Africa. Is this usual? (There is, of course, the "test" against the World XI as well, but, even if I am in a minority on this issue, I don't see that as anything more than an exhibition match.) Including the three matches against the World XI, and assuming the rather long VB series featuring Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka goes to a third final, there are 18 ODIs, and the West Indians get none of them. Seems awfully unbalanced to me. Maybe one of our Aussie members can tell me if my perception is right or wrong?
