Test season over all too soon

It doesn't seem quite right somehow. We've just got going with a really captivating series v India and suddenly the Test season is a day from being over for another year. Partly because of the poor English weather - even worse than usual - and partly because of the lack of Brian Lara to give the West Indies real class, it seems like the English season is over before it's really begun.

What a pity that there were 4 Tests scheduled against the West Indies, who were unlikely to provide much of a contest, and just 3 against India who are pretty evenly matched with England providing some exciting cricket. And what a pity that we can't have at least one more Test rather than 7 ODIs. I'm sure they will provide some excellent cricket, but the Test series has hardly got going before it's all over....
