Per Neil Manthorp's input on the ABC Radio coverage, SA cricket and NZ cricket boards have now decreed they will only play 2 match Test series from now on. Manthorp also suspected the just finished series might be the last tour SA make to these shores which would be a shame (well, maybe not if they keep playing like they did the last 3 weeks)... And yes, it's due to T20 Leagues filling up the calendar. So apart from an England 5 match Ashes tour, it sounds like we'll not be getting any 3/5 Test match series here in the near future, just pissy 2 match series'. India probably will do 4 but not 5. Outside of that, how long U til Pakistan, Windies and Lankan boards follow the NZ and SA directive??

India v Aust are going up to 5 test series

India, Australia to clash in two five-test series in next four years

India and Australia will clash in five-test series twice during the next four-year calendar, which will feature more international matches across the game's three formats.
