    Next Cricket Summer 2016-17

    First half of test summer vs South Africa.

    Second half of test summer (inc. Boxing Day & New Year) vs Pakistan.

    Another day night test, venue yet to be selected.

    Shapes as a good summer. Would be happy to see Adelaide get a 2nd Test, night as well held over the traditional Australia Day weekend.

      SCG have also put their hand up for the second day nighter, as well as keeping the New Years test.

        That should make for some great cricket. Pakistan have claims to being the best side in the world if they can win away from home, Amir may be back also. They are a very dangerous side, will need to be firm once Misbha goes though.

        I hope Smith is burning about those losses at home to South Africa, our best shot in a long time to beat them both home and away

          Hopefully Pakistan can bring their A game, because I fear for the current South African team. They were destroyed in India and are being embarrassed by England at home. They desperately need a fully fit Steyn and Philander to compete with the games' elite.

              Not sure Australia is in the elite class either , played no one this summer.
