Might head over to England to watch some. Given how many injuries were picked up by our bowlers on the last tour, there might be a chance of old Heathy having to field at some point!!

I wish. We might have a go if our best XI can take the pitch - i.e. Bond remains fit, Bracewell either resigns or decides that picking Hamish is NOT playing the best XI.NZ to win Test series 2-1 and ODI series 4-1 .
Winning the ODI series might be a given, but winning the test series.... Can't see it happening; even at my most hopeful!
If Bond, Mills, Oram , Franklin and Vettori are fully fit and form part of the Team and Flem discovers some form along with Ross Taylor , there is every chance of a 2-1 or at least a minimum of 1-1 series tie IMO.

I'm thinking more if Glenn Turner, Paddles and Martin Crowe come out of retirement to improve our fragile batting line up. And keeping that lot of crocks fit is a bloody big ask. England are better than in 1999, by a long way. We no longer have Cairnsey or Gnasher. Still, early season conditions will suit our bowlers a lot more than its suited the Windies.
I hope they preserve Bond carefully till the England series .

I'd use the cliche "wrap him in cotton wool" but knowing his luck, he'd probably breathe some of the wool dust in and contract asbestosis.

Five tests for NZ in the UK? Sorry, not enough money in that for the Brits They'd much rather shoehorn a series in against another team so they can force the same fans back through the turnstiles to see a different 'product'

Having a heart attack as we speak. We might even play a tour match.

Actually I think this might be a little bit too much. I think going to have to have a lay-down as this is all starting to get a bit light headed.

Our players won't be used to a tour of such length.Actually I think this might be a little bit too much. I think going to have to have a lay-down as this is all starting to get a bit light headed.
