This is obviously a great big time-saver of a post, so I won't waste time setting it up or explaining it, even though that's exactly what I just did.
Both the first South Africa-India first test at the Centurion and the Australia-England third test at the WACA are scheduled on the same days, with RSA-Ind starting 6 hours after the Ashes. A lot of the 'what to expect stuff' has already been discussed by followers filling up the time in between the cricket, on Twitter or elsewhere, so I'll try to avoid the obvious stuff. Having said that, don't scratch your eyes out if Billy the Worm correspondent Captain Obvious makes an appearance.
I'll start with the more important series, and it isn't between a couple of islands (okay, England isn't an island, but since they can pick players from other parts of the UK, and since the UK is an island, I'd go with it).
