Needs a Florida team: Port Lauderdale LaunderersThe tournament is for money laundering.
Unfortunately this was predicted. I really hope our 3 tests in India go ahead though even if we're going to probably get hammered.4 whole Tests this summer
Save him for the home summer. I'd also like to see Ravindra get an undeserved crack at batting in the test top 3 in Bangladesh with Kane out (and being the 3rd spinner).Kane apparently ahead of schedule in his recovery from his knee injury. I dunno, I'd be very leery of rushing him back into the squad if the doctors are marginal on his recovery. We've got a big summer of test cricket coming up, and while I know the NZC doesn't gave a **** about that I'd honestly prefer it if we can guarantee KW's fitness for that, rather than risking him aggravating his injury after a couple WC games and being out of the side for another 6-9 months.
NoNew Zealand's men's team also welcome South Africa in the Feb & March for two Tests - to be held at Bay Oval in Tauranga and Seddon Park in Hamilton.
This will be New Zealand's latest attempt to break their duck against a side who they have never beaten in the format at home or away
Nz host Aus may be 1st time since 6 or more year in about same time so 4 test are plenty

I am afraid we may actually have Trump buy a team and name them Mar-a-lago MAGAs.Mar-a-Lago Cheats
Big summer of test cricket my ass. Its 4 tests and they're ages away for some reason. Play Kane
We have 2 tests in Bangladesh thenWould be good if we had two tests vs Afghanistan in November/early December window.
I tend to think it will be one or the other. Southee and Henry are hard picks, and Wagner will likely be given a bit more rope by the selectors to see if his new pilates obsession will translate into meaningful performance improvements. If it doesn't then I think Stead will remain loyal to Tickner (or maybe give Sears a run if he's fit and has a blinder of a season for Wellington). That potentially leaves one other spot.Too early to say right now how competitive we might be - our bowling attack could range anywhere from terrible to excellent (e.g. if Jamieson back and Boult ends up playing).
