Would've been better with the test match as the last match, seeing as it's the one with the most points on offer. England then would've gone into the game well ahead on points with the Aussies knowing only a victory would win them the Ashes.

Yeah, this is actually the first time for a decade they've put the Test first; in Australia eighteen months ago it was the final match, and in other series they've done it between the two white-ball rubbers. I don't know if the hectic schedule this summer is to blame, but it would be annoying if they stuck the biggest game first purely because it let them use Trent Bridge, as appealing as it may have been for commercial and prestige reasons.
