Right in light of absolutely nothing being learnt from the English summer and a few one-day games that will probably be washed out it's probably worthwhile kicking off the discussion on the Ashes tour. The winter itinerary is as thus:
November
4-5 v Western Australia XI, Perth (Waca)
8-11 v Cricket Australia XI, Adelaide (d/n)
15-18 v Cricket Australia XI, Townsville
23-27 1st Test, Brisbane (00:00 GMT)
December
2-6 2nd Test, Adelaide (d/n) (04:00 GMT)
9-10 v Cricket Australia XI, Perth (venue TBC)
14-18 3rd Test, Perth (Waca) (02:30 GMT)
26-30 4th Test, Melbourne (23:30 GMT, 25-29 Dec)
January
4-8 5th Test, Sydney (23:30 GMT, 3-7 Jan)
11 v Cricket Australia XI, Sydney (venue TBC)
14 1st ODI, Melbourne (03:20 GMT)
19 2nd ODI, Brisbane (04:20 GMT)
21 3rd ODI, Sydney (03:20 GMT)
26 4th ODI, Adelaide (03:50 GMT)
28 5th ODI, Perth (venue TBC)* (06:20 GMT)
February (all matches are Twenty20)
2 Prime Minister's XI v England, Canberra (23:00 GMT, 1 Feb)
3 Australia v New Zealand, Sydney (07:00 GMT)
7 Australia v England, Hobart (07:00 GMT)
10 Australia v England, Melbourne (07:00 GMT)
14 New Zealand v England, Wellington (Westpac Stadium) (06:00 GMT)
16 New Zealand v Australia, Auckland (06:00 GMT)
18 New Zealand v England, Hamilton (06:00 GMT)
21 Final, Auckland (06:00 GMT)
February (NZ Tour)
25 1st ODI, Hamilton (d/n) (01:00 GMT)
28 2nd ODI, Napier (d/n) (01:00 GMT)
March
3 3rd ODI, Wellington (Westpac Stadium) (d/n) (01:00 GMT)
7 4th ODI, Dunedin (22:00 GMT, 6 Mar)
10 5th ODI, Christchurch (22:00 GMT, 9 Mar)
22-26 1st Test, Auckland (d/n) (01:00 GMT)
30-3 Apr 2nd Test, Christchurch (22:00 GMT, 29 Mar-2 Apr)
That's 7 tests, 10 ODI's and 5 T20's I think. England squad announcement for the Ashes will probably be at the end of the month and it'll be around 15-17 men.
