England, having won the Ashes are now embraking upon a series of two Twenty20 internationals and 7 ODIs. I know that the World Cup is around the corner, but 7! Surely this is overkill - the 50 over format is struggling a little in my view, with ticket prices too high and periods of absolute boredom in the middle overs. Is there really a need for so many.
I hope that the cricket authorities don't saturate the market like they did with Twenty20. People only have so much disposable income, and would you rather have fewer games played in front of packed terraces or more games in front of echo-y stands?
The World Cup itself goes on for long enough (2 months or so) - how much do we need?
