2001/2002 Teams

[GoEagles]

Just wondering, if anyone knows what 2 teams will be coming out to Australia for next summer?

I wasn't 100% sure, but I think it might be :
Sri Lanka & Pakistan

At least the games will be more competitive than this year

I know South Africa is coming here for the Test Series and one dayers and I believe New Zealand are coming here. Sri Lanka and Pakistan were here last summer and South Africa and New Zealand havn't for a while. I definately know South Africa is coming.

one team is SOUTH AFRICA (100% positive)
not sure of the other one..

Thanks kangas, I wasn't too sure myself. Sri Lanka were last here for a test series in 1996 so I was assuming they came every 4 or 5 years, but it must be longer.

Hopefully they will give Australia a challenge.

That's very good news.
The South Africa series will be very competitive and i think will decide the unofficial test world champions.

I hear what you're saying BUBBA but you've got to see Tendulkar bat. He wasn't so successful last time but he's a great player to watch in full flight. You're right though, it probably won't be very competitive.

 

[GoEagles]

At least It has to be a bit more competitive than this season, a clean sweep!

I can't understand why you're only playing South africa for 3 tests surely as virtually the only side that can give u a decent game in Australia it would be much better to play them in a 5 match series.It's ok to play most of the others in 3 test series but for SA I believe that a 5 test series would be awesome & a lot of people would be avidly following it all over the world(me included)
