Summertime Blues

Another 4 years, another Ashes series. In years gone by, we'd have taken a long lunch in a pub, taking advantage of the summer timezone difference with Queensland, and watched the entire first session.

In those days, a test series seemed to span the whole summer starting in late November and running through to late January, over the Australia Day weekend in Adelaide. The timing of the tests seemed completely in tune with the rhythm of the season.

Nowadays, all five tests are finished after the New Year test in Sydney. And you don't go drinking at lunchtime anymore.

What are we supposed to talk about for the rest of summer?
