On the horizon

Since the series against India finished two weeks ago, ending the cricket season, I’ve felt like I’ve been floating on a becalmed sea – lost and directionless. You may have guessed by the fact that I’ve only been posting filler recently. I’m not the only one; Iain O’Brien took nearly two weeks to post his account of the final day of the 3rd test.

To save my sanity I have compiled the upcoming tours by the NZ team from the future tours programme and put together a long term schedule, in all its technicolour glory.

Its not looking too bad actually. A 20-20 lark coming up and then a tour of Sri Lanka in a few months time, which is a bit of a bonus at that time of year. Having a tour of Pakistan scheduled is not encouraging given that no one is going to go to Pakistan, but efforts are being made to ensure that the test series is played at least, quite likely in New Zealand. A bit of light relief when the Bangladeshis visit before the hard core assignment of the next 12 months, hosting Australia.

    OK then Ben, time for a competition.

    Where do you think the 8 tests will be scheduled this year? Not easy with all those half-built rugby grounds around.

    Here’s my stab.

    Pak: Napier, Basin, Queenstown.

    Ban: Hamilton, Dunedin.

    Aus: Napier, Tron, Basin.
