And away ashes series are also every 4 years. Thus there is 18months between a home ashes series and an away series, and then 2.5years from the away series to the next home one. That's why we should be playing away next winter (2014/2015), but it's been brought forward because of the world cup.

None of this hit and giggle one-day stuff What I want to know is why all the Women's Ashes stuff is being played in the SE. Headingley didn't get a test match for the men's series, why not hold a women's game there instead? Would be interesting to watch some Women's international cricket, but, like everything else it seems like there's a SE bias to where the games are held.
