December and January of each year is not only known for its festive season and holiday atmosphere. In the southern hemisphere it is also summertime and summer time means cricket time.
Currently South Africa is engaged in a test series with India. In New Zeeland they are playing Pakistan and in Australia it is the battle of the Ashes against England.
