Jumping on to get in my usual moan about how they don't even try for women's test cricket, so Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine will never play a test. Even goddamn South Africa can afford one test match a season.

Which one is the proposed test venue? 
On the PDF map, it's the oval marked Field 3, 4 and 5.
That England vs SA womens test was in England.

Really it's only the big 3 monied cricket nations that are playing womens test cricket, and even then it's just a solitary test per mult-format (T20, ODI & test) series.

Best bet for Kerr and co to ever play in whites is Aussie, India or Blighty invite them in for a full multi-format tour. India might be the best bet as the BCCI seems to generate healthy media right deals for any cricket match involving an Indian team.
