Before those Tests, we play Bangladesh in Darwin and Cairns.

A very busy schedule, 8 tests over the Aussie summer is a large workload on the players. The ACB needs to be careful that they aren't over worked. Maybee for the Bangladesh series a policy of resting players may be a good idea, especially Gilchrist whose work load is enormous.

But on second thoughts wouldn't it be great to watch Gilchrist bat in a test against Bangladesh!

oh i wouldnt worry to much about that. the tests against Bangladesh and the Zimbies are like a picnic that lasts 5 days, or in these games cases 2 or 3. they wont have any problems with too many tests this summer.

Seriously though, why bother having them as 5 days? Australia wins them in less anyways lol Poor little Banglabesh their first chance at Test Cricket and they have to play Australia. Anyone think they will last longer then 3 days?

prototype, bangladesh have played a fair few tests, they were just recently belted by the windies so my guess is its not going to be pretty.
