Great news from the hallowed halls of New Zealand Cricket - the Indian cricket tour of New Zealand beginning in February has been extended, following the cancellation of India's tour to Pakistan. There will now be an additional 20/20 match, but more importantly, a third test match, to be played at Napier. The Inventory schedule for February and March is already under review.
The Indians are arguably the #1 team in test cricket, and the team is chock-full of superstars - Sehwag, Gambhir, Tendular, VVS Laxman, Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh. They play a wonderful brand of cricket, and if the late summer weather co-operates, we will all enjoy a real Indian summer!

Napier
I shall have to review my commitments
Going to be tricky to make it much as I would love to see the Indians bat on the McLean Park wicket. Work will be an issue on the week days and we (Mrs pdm and I) have a school reunion that weekend. We both reckon it is the last one we will be able to do justice to.
Might have to have a sicky.
Indeed Adam. Mrs Inv and I had planned to come down to Welly for the 20/20 on Friday 6/3, but that has been moved forward a week, and there is now an ODI at the Cake Tin on the 6th. I shall have to start accumulating some serious brownie points in order to convince Mrs I that trips to Welly on successive weekends is a good plan. And I hope to get down for at least a day of the Wellington test match; maybe more.
See you guys at the Basin in early April.
I'll be recording crowd comments on the Friday for the cricket slot on the Kiwi FM sports show on Saturday morning.
