In Oct 2010 Sri Lanka play Australia

Australians look out the Lankans are coming! After the tough Indian tour and before the start of Ashes Australia have a task on hand, they have to face the mighty Lankans. But unlike playing the Indians in India Australia will have the advantage of playing on home soil. Sri Lanka versus Australia 2010 seems to be an ideal preparation for the Australians before the Ashes.

NZ tour of India 2010

After Ricky Ponting's men faced the heat in India. We have New Zealand touring India in November -December 2010 to play 3 Tests and 5 One day matches. After the drubbing they recieved at the hands of minnows Bangladesh in the one day series Vettori and his men would know that the NZ tour of India 2010 would be a tough challenge. Team India will be on a high after beating Australia comprehensively in the Test series. It is a good time for India to stamp their superiority in the Test rankings and try to move up in the one day rankings also.
