NZ Cricket are trying to turn our three test series against Australia into a two test and three ODI series. I can see their point about wanting to ride from the world cup but fudge, horrible timing.

Agree from a PR perspective it is horrible timing.

But stripping it away from that, they're saying we either play 6 tests against them this summer or 5 tests and a Chappell-Hadlee series with that being the carrot for regular C-H series. I'm pretty 50/50 on it when you look at it that way.

I'd rather we play 3 test series against different opposition on a regular basis than have a C-H series every year or 2. This just makes us look like we don't want to play tests
