feel free to play some tests at any time...

They didn't play any ODi's last time Australia toured India though iirc, so I guess this is making up for that.

It's just the fact they constantly seem to play ODI's and I actually enjoy watching them play tests!

Australia played only tests in India last year. They`ve not featured in a full tour to India for some time now since 2001. Since then they`ve played either tests or ODIs but not both in a single tour.

Wont be bad. It will be an exciting series. Its immediately after the Champions Trophy. I hope all our players play in this series. Any series against Australia is top billing.

P.s: Didnt we have an ODI series against Australia in 2007 immediately after our T20 World Cup victory? khalek, the co-incidence only gets stronger

We played the ODI's a year before I think. The tour was split into two parts...

Sorry to all Indians but I've had enough of playing them. That'll be for the 3rd straight year that we've played them. It's so annoying with all the controversies and the like.

 

[Leggie]

Don't worry. Symonds won't be here this time.

7 odis is far too many,5 would have been better.

Looks like a silly series. I'm getting bored of ODI's to be honest. I checked Cricinfo a few weeks back and it looks like this was originally supposed to be a 4-Test series but now it is an unlimited number of ODIs, whoopee. :

Maybe if the Aussies keep quiet and just play their game, they could avoid so many controversies

Call me crazy, but maybe the Indians should try play a test sometime.

 

[SaiSrini]

And against Australia that is. It would be so much fun! I too want the test matches back. Though I love the T20's, I want the tests back soon too.

Yes,7 ODI's between 2 teams is really too much,they should have kept it to 5,look at the on-going series between India vs WI,they have just kept it to 4 ODI's,what the logic of keeping it to 4?
