Thats maybe because you are a NZ fan. But for a neutral fan, Aus vs SA and SA vs Eng would be a treat to watch.

If the India series was pushed, then NZ series could have been longer too, but Aus didnt want to sacrifice the tradition of a boxing day test.

Well I think Andrew Mehrtens may be able to sum up New Zealand's feelings for fans overseas.

Hate the 2 test series...

462.4 overs bowled so far for the series - theoretically a little over 1 complete test, and not much longer than the limited overs portion of the tour.
