Early summer here , pitches will be green ,with a fair amount of rain .
Mt Maunganui is a great place for the first test ,one of the best places in NZ .

 

[The Breen Machine]

Only 2 tests and no ODI's

What's the f***ing point.

Authorities allowing cricket to die on it's arse and put all the eggs in a T20 sized basket.

It’s a great tour I think for the tests I’m gonna try go

A tour to NZ will always be great as it's a beautiful country, but once again tests and ODI's have been devalued at the expense of T20's which can't be healthy for the longer-term prospects of each format.

I’m not sure missing out on a bilateral ODIs series in NZ is that much of a scandal like, they ain’t very well attended in nz like

People like the T20s in those parts of the world.

There should obviously more tests

you thinking about going mate? or saving for South Africa?

I am just gonna go for this one, sick of playing it safe.

Might fly in to Auckland for last T20 and then warm up games etc

 

[Silly Point]

Doing SA this year anyway but would love to do NZ some time. Would be top of my list if it was a bit closer but feel I would need at least three weeks to make it worthwhile and that just isn't practical

It's what the people must want to watch, otherwise would not be soo many surely?

 

[Silly Point]

"There will be live commentary on all games on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra."

Thank fuck for that. Fuck off Talksport

Two long tours mind. Lot of travelling and a lot of cricket. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a nightmare winter of poor results tbh, with our recent record in away Tests

Lot depends on Wood and Archer, and how good they are

Get it booked this time mate, no wavering!

The first test sounds like a class one to go to, ground looks lush.

Not sure why there are no ODI's . Very popular here especially in the region's.

Haven't they stopped the series of 5 ones now? Not sure why there are no ODIs, but thought they were trying to make them more relevant again or someit

Good quiz question for who our top scorer was in that innings.

 

[Cumberland]

Your team bat first and are 6 - 1, 6 - 2, 16 - 3, 18 -4. Scoring at 1.8 an over. - sound familiar!!!
