NZ get a 4-match Test series once every 25 years making this 5 times bigger than any Ashes series in history, so yes even a 10 year in advance tour thread wouldn't be soon enough.

NZ's road to their 4-Test Tour of Australia 2026-27

Wait, this is a 4-match series? Holy ****. This thread is absolutely necessary, then. Every ounce of our focus should be on making sure we are competitive in this series.
We have 2.5 years to give the right guys international red-ball exposure, because a 4-0 embarrassment would be near the end of our credibility. Certainly Australia won't be arsed playing us, although to be fair they're going to go through a significant transition with seemingly not a lot to follow, as well.
Surely G.Stead won't be the coach, either. If he spends 2.5 years wringing the final liquids out of these 32-year-olds who are already on the downward spiral, I don't know what that will do to my mental health.

Couldn't agree more. The credibility is 100% on the line in this series. A really competitive series there has the ability to invigorate the game here - imagine the hype if you get a 4-match series where we take them on head-first and win? It would be mid-80s level of public investment in the game.
