West Indies confirmed to start summer

So it seems that West Indies have agreed to fill the gap at the start of the next English summer that was created by Zimbabwe not being welcome and Sri Lanka not being able to field a decent side due to the IPL.

So the likelihood is that the British public get another bore of a back-to-back series (following the England tour to the Caribbean) at a time of year when play is likely to be curtailed due to poor weather or bad light. The two tests will be over by 18th May so the likelihood of 10 days of glorious sun must be remote. The ECB had little option, but it still doesn't excite me at all as a die hard cricket fan so what it must do for less committed fans I'm not quite sure....

At least we're more likely to beat The West Indies than Sri Lanka and we won't have to put up with all that does he or doesn't he throw it stuff in the press etc..
