I can manage the New Zealand team until we find a manager if you want to get started on the Test series.
sure or just use their IRL for the 1st test and go from there.
I will stick to as close to real life as possible depending on the pitch conditions, might have to change a bowler or two.
Will still have to check for injuries for the NZ squad to be fair to both teams.
I just checked for injuries for England then, unfortunately Alec Stewart is going to have to miss this one as he is Feeling Unwell, so you will have to make a last minute change to your XI.

Here are the details for the 1st Test between New Zealand and England at Christchurch.
New Zealand v England - 1st Test - at Christchurch - 1991/2
Pitch: 81 - The combination of high moisture content in the top surface and a bone hard layer beneath makes this a difficult pitch to read.
Probably the seamers can expect some early help on the 1st day but thereafter the wicket should play easily until it begins to wear on the 4th or 5th day.
The spinners should enjoy the rest of the match as it becomes more and more responsive to spin.
Day 1 Starting Pitch: 132 - Green Wicket
Day 1 Starting Weather: 10 - Rain
Injuries: A.J.Stewart - Feeling Unwell (miss 1 match) - R.K.Illingworth - Ankle Injury (miss 1 match)

Day 1 Starting Pitch: 132 - Green Wicket
Day 1 Starting Weather: 10 - Rain
Toss: New Zealand
With 2 spinners in their lineup and the pitch to favour Spin late in the match the home side batted first despite the Green Pitch.
Andrew Jones and Martin Crowe were batting well but the run out of Crowe for 51 started a slide and New Zealand slipped to 158/7.
Mark Greatbatch with 63 and keeper Ian Smith with 46 shared a partnership of 70 for the 8th wicket to take their team past 200 and the eventual total was 248.
Angus Fraser and Chris Lewis bowled well for England in conditions that became Overcast and aided Swing on Day 2 to take 3 wickets each on a pitch which has not yet flattened out.
Rain on Day 1 and 2 meant England start their 1st innings late on Day 2 with the Draw firming in the betting due to the weather.

New Zealand v England - 1st Test - at Christchurch - 1991/2
An excellent maiden hundred to Nasser Hussain and good innings by Robin Smith and Jack Russell took England to a large first innings total and a 1st innings lead of 198.
Hussain made 145 but more rain meant the England 1st innings didn't end until midway through Day 4.
Offspinner Dipak Patel bowled well for New Zealand on a pitch not offering him much as he took 4-95 off 40 accurate overs.
Overcast conditions mean the England seamers will be in the game when New Zealand start their 2nd innings.

New Zealand v England - 1st Test - at Christchurch - 1991/2
Centuries to opener John Wright and middle order batsman Mark Greatbatch allowed New Zealand to escape with a Draw after they had trailed by 198 on 1st innings.
Wright scored 168 and Greatbatch an unbeaten 159* as the England attack ran out of ideas on a pitch which remained Normal on the final day.
Left arm spinner Phil Tufnell kept going to take 4 wickets in a long spell but it made little difference as New Zealand easily batted out time.
Mark Greatbatch was named Man of the Match after scoring 222 runs for the match for once out, a fine effort.
The Draw leaves the 5 Test series at 0-0 with 4 to play.

Your next match as a 3 day match v a New Zealand XI at Christchurch, here are the details.
New Zealand XI v England XI - 3 day match - at Christchurch - 1991/2
Pitch: 7 - A nice batting track but with the prospect of some help for the bowlers late in the match and chasing a target in the 4th innings may prove well beyond all but the strongest of batting lineups.
Day 1 Starting Pitch: 1 - Very Good Batting Wicket
Day 1 Weather: 3 - Sunny, some cloud about
Injuries: R.K.Illingworth - Shoulder Strain (miss 1 match)

A patient hundred to Alec Stewart was the highlight of an England XI first innings of 250/4 declared.
After missing the 1st Test with injury Stewart proved he had return to full fitness by batting throughout the day to remain unbeaten on 103* after being dropped on 99* by keeper Tony Blain off the Medium pace of Justin Vaughan.
Robin Smith was also in the runs making 80 and Ramprakash had some time in the middle before a declaration at Stumps on Day 1 to keep the game moving.
Left arm Fast Medium bowler Murphy Sua was the pick of the New Zealand XI attack and may come into contention for Test selection to make his debut in the 2nd Test on his home ground at Auckland.
