Does it strike anyone else as stupid that OTT pandering to the sponsors has resulted in all three ODI venues on this tour having basically the same name? Actually, that brings me to a question I've often wanted to ask...

James, do you get sent this info through official channels? If so, do they compel you to use the sponsored names?

Yeah it is one of those cringeworthy things in sport to see the names of stadiums being changed to meet that of the sponsors. I think South Africa and the US have to be the two worst offenders in this. Will we be seeing Tests being played at Kellogs Snap Crackle 'n Pop Newlands soon? God only help us if the MCC did such a thing to Lords :dry: :@

Two Tests and three ODIs and a meaningless Twenty20 game. Wake me when anything interesting happens.
