NZ rise to 2nd in Test rankings for first time

Crazy idea for a series...
New Zealand vs Australia starting in December 1st test in Aus...
Then alternate home matches between the 2 countries making a 4 match series 2 in Aus and 2 in New Zealand. You could even make it a 6 match series stretching from December to late Jan.
Brisbane,
Eden park
Melbourne (boxing day)
Basin
Sydney
Hagley

Thats a great idea. Alternating Tests in each country would be awesome.

Imagine a world where Pakistan and India have a series like that. Would be so ****ing epic.

Yeah it literally just came to my head and I thought how exciting that will be returning home and the away to coming over. Nz Aus and the sub con teams are the only possible series tho but wtf not

Good idea, but how about we scrap the test matches at Eden Park, the Basin and Hagley Oval and replace them with 20/20's?

And yes, my name is David White.

We always miss teams when they hit a low. By the time we tour SA again Amla will probably be gone, de Kock, Faf and Markram will probably hit god mode with the bat and the new seamers will have a bit more experience and destroy us.
Amla and Faf will be pushing 40 when Nz next tour there haha.

Didn’t we have a shorter form of that in 1989/90? It was only two tests, one in Perth (Greatbatch’s match) and one in Wellington (which NZ won thanks to Hadlee and a glorious Wright ton in the last innings). But it worked really well that time round and a repeat is well overdue.

Nice to hear the team will be getting a $500k USD payout for this. Would be interesting to know how it geta divied up between the players and whether the NZC gets a slice.

Interesting, didn't know the rankings were connected to a purse.
