Australia will play two tests, three one dayers and one Twenty20 match during the tour.

Why only 2 tests? That's not a 'test series', we need at least 3 tests...this is totally unacceptable.
"Pakistan to host Australia in UAE." Umm, wouldn't that be the UAE hosting both Australia and Pakistan? I know the UAE is new "home ground" but jeez, this is laughable. Can you imagine: Bangladesh to host Zimbabwe... in France!
