Been awhile since the Kiwis were in Australia. A year too late but better late than never as they say regarding the build up to the Indian series.

We really need a warmup game tbh.

one boring summer internationally for us, the only team confirmed to be coming here is Zimbabwe.

So this mini series should be good.

I would like to see NZ and Australia play each other more tbh. This will be good though, always like to watch Aus v NZ tests despite us always getting stomped.

South Africa are coming for a full tour as far as I know.

I was/still am looking to go to one of the tests, but I'm not sure if I'll bother now considering I wanted to go to the MCG/SCG.

I personally don't feel Kiwis require a practice game at Australia, since the conditions are mostly matching with their home conditions. Scheduling should have been done in such a way that Kiwis play their first test at Hobart so that they could have acclimatize to Australian conditions, as Bellerive Oval has 50-50 Australia-New Zealand conditions summed up in it.

Our domestic stuff only starts in the second or so week of November...

go for the boxing day test against India, will be a much better contest.

 

[CG123]

Don't really enjoy watching India play tbh...

If I went overseas for a match it would have to be a New Zealand match.

 

[Iridium]

Yea, I was planning on heading over for the Boxing Day Test. I love the MCG. Such a great atmosphere there.

gasp

i would give anything to go and see possibly the last series of Dravid, Laxman and Tendulkar playing together.

but i went to see the ashes test last year so i cant, will have to watch it on tv.

Well certainly Test cricket yes, but we've been shoe horning the blessed Chappell-Hadlee ODI trophy into summers for a few years now. Thankfully they counted that Aus-NZ World Cup game as the Chappell-Hadlee trophy match for last year, we certainly didn't need more ODIs added to the schedule.

 

[CG123]

I've just got no time for Indian cricket because of the BCCI, and sadly that falls down onto their national team/players.

Yeah but they don't - the first game's at the Gabba, an that's one of the unKiwiest grounds over here.
