This article and titled as such has been promoted on Southern Hemisphere news sites. This is a colonialist northern hemisphere centric view of the world and is thus disrespectful to Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The Oct/Nov series is labelled the Autumn series (given the season of the host nations), the July series is titled here Summer series it seems here, yet it is middle of winter for the home host nations. This should be labelled the Winter Incoming series.
