MELBOURNE: Just three days after the T20 World Cup final Down Under, Australia played an insignificant 3-match one-day international series against the champions England which saw a poor turnout to the stadiums. This in turn led to the criticism of the Australian Cricket Board for the manner in which the series was scheduled, immediately after the T20 showpiece.
Referring to the jam-packed Australian schedule this year, former World Cup-winning skipper Steve Waugh said that it has become hard to follow every game and the public has almost overdosed on cricket.
