ANALYSIS: Get used to lopsided summers of cricket — they're here to stay
abc.net.au/news/australia-lopsided-summer-of-cricket-south-africa-west-indies/101835674You'll be hard pushed to find anyone who will come away from the summer of cricket with much positivity.Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Travis Head, Cam Green and Alex Carey plundered runs to all corners of grounds across Australia.
In that time, India have won four Tests, there have been five draws, and Australia has won the remaining 25. Twenty-four of them by more than six wickets or 120 runs. Pity the Cricket Australia marketing team for that one — they're going to have to think of some very imaginative campaigns to convince people these will be worth watching.
In that same time frame, there is a whole lot less Test cricket for teams like South Africa, who arguably need all the match practice they can get.
