Should india convert two match test series vs sa into 3 match series?

[govinda indian fan]

Last year's bgt and India's england tour reaginted test cricket's popularity in india. So i was thinking wouldn't it would be better if bcci and csa drop one odi and t20i match and make two match series into potential 3 match series? South africa are wtc champions and any way they don't play enough test matches this cycle. India vs sa rivalry is underrated and would be feast for neutrals

Make it 4 and ask them to produce proper Test pitches and we'd get more banging Test matches.

Only going to work if you're not dropping any LOIs given CSA's financial situation. Though I'm sure tests against India still earn profits.

The obvious solution is just for the BCCI with its infinite money glitch to play 15 tests a year. (Like, seriously, why don't they?)

Yeah I have long believed we should be playing 8 tests at home every season. Invite a team to play 5 and another to play 3. We can do the 3 tests in our Oct-Nov part of the season and mid Jan-March could be for the 5 test series.

A Test almost every year at Eden does sounds wonderful!

India's pitches are good.

India's pitches are good.

I was mentioning the minefields South Africa gave India in last two tours

Don't think after white wash vs nz we would dare to prepare rank turners but again gambhir is a ****inn idiot. He might double down on his foolishness

After sa lost cape town test. Csa promised never to make minefields again

That's my biggest fear but hopefully better sense prevails

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I wouldn't mind, any reason to have more Tests is a good reason

What minefields in 2019?

 

[Johan]

What minefields in 2019?

What are you talking about, I'm saying the pitches South Africa gave India IE when India toured South Africa, the infamous 6 wickets for no runs game series I think

Ha... I thought u meant in India. Only the 2015 tour had minefields. 2019 were good wickets and I hope to see the same this series.

I think if the pitches are like England tour last year it'd be a great and balanced series.

 

[Northerner]

Without a doubt yes, only play 2 test series against the minnows,

 

[ankitj]

Hell yes

It's great to see SA is a mighty competitive side still. I was worried they could slide like WI with all the untimely retirements from test cricket. But they are a superb side, won the WTC. Will be great to play longer series with them.

There's no space in the calendar to add any extra games. Ind-SA test series starts like 5 days after the conclusion of India's whiteball tour of Australia. Plus right after the two tests there's back to back ODI and T20 series with both SA and NZ.
