Australia's tour of the West Indies has been turned into a real yawn, thanks to the cricket overkill, says Stuart MacGill, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The upcoming series in the Caribbean looms as one of the most poorly watched tours in decades. Having already endured what felt like at least four seasons condensed into the past domestic summer, we have been given just a single week off ... The entire series will be over before the end of April, about the time most of us would be ready to enjoy watching another game of cricket.
I am disappointed the hard-working guys in the team won't get the attention and respect they deserve for their efforts over there, but it's highly likely they won't notice anyway. The ridiculous scheduling means there is a huge disconnect between them and the Australian cricket lover.
