Huge gap in FTP or Cricinfo error?

Apparently according to cricinfo, the following are the tours till 2011. (Tests only)

WI hosting SA in May to June.

Eng hosting Pak vs Aus in July

Sl hosting New Zealand in July.

The Ashes in Aus, winter.

Which means, after Aug, none of India, Sri lanka, New Zealand, West Indies, South Africa have any tours planned till World Cup in Feb 11 which leaves a yawning gap of over 6 months in these countries' calendar. Further, Pakistan too don't have any tests after their series against Aus.

I find it quite inexplicable, and am inclined to blame cricINFO for not having updated their database. I always thought India were touring Sri LANKA and South Africa this year.

Pl feel free to correct me.

I'm darn sure the Test Series against SL in SL and SA this year end are confirmed, even though the cricinfo fixtures does not have them listed.

I thought Pakistan was touring NZ in Nov/Dec, but we don't have a home series in Jan/Feb due to the World Cup.

Well, I hope they do.

What about NZ, Pak, and Wi then? I'd love Ind to host two tests vs Nz as we haven't hosted them since 02 I think. Two against Sl in Aug-Sep followed by 2 against NZ in Oct followed by SA tour in Nov-Dec definitely couldn't hurt.

I'd support a huge gap in the FTP if only to allow us some time to purge CC while there's nothing going on.
