      NZ v Zimbabwe (1st Test)

      If you're looking for the ultimate international challenge, then Zimbabwe is the team you should try.
      Definitely the weakest, which is sad really.

        The controversial decision has been taken to give fringe players and promising youngsters a chance to impress at this level.

          NZ v Zimbabwe (2nd Test)

          A much more competitive game.

          Of our bowlers, only veteran, Tim Southee, stood out, although young batsman, Max French, showed some potential with the ball too.

          Of our batsmen, young opener, Neil Robertson, showed real class, while French's first innings knock helped us through to respectability.

              With the weather looking sunny throughout, and the pitch looking like it might deteriorate during the game, we've opted to play both Jeremy Benton and Ish Sodhi, meaning that Darryl Mitchell is the third seamer.
              Young batsmen, Neil Robertson and Danny Bell, get another opportunity to show what they're capable of.

                Pakistan v NZ (1st Test)

                A surprisingly poor performance from a Pakistan team on home soil.

                Winning the toss and batting first was a bonus, but the pitch never deteriorated to a stage where there was erratic bounce, and there was only sharp turn towards the end.
                Still, the fact that we also struggled in our second innings suggests that batting certainly got progressively harder.

                A wonderful century from Danny Bell in just his second test, aided by a century to Dean Foxcroft as well, proved to be the difference.

                  Similar weather conditions to the first test, but the pitch is likely to break up more quickly here.
                  Glenn Phillips takes the keeping gloves from Dane Cleaver, while Max French replaces Darryl Mitchell.

                    Pakistan v NZ (2nd Test)

                    Pakistan again failed to fire, and went down in similar fashion to the first test.

                      Sunny weather expected throughout, with the pitch likely to deteriorate in both bounce and turn. Pretty much the same as the two we just played on in Pakistan.

                      Rachin Ravindra replaces Neil Robertson, and Darryl Mitchell replaces Max French.

                        NZ v Sri Lanka (1st Test)

                        Centuries in both innings from Tom Latham was the standout from NZ's point of view, although the bowlers again did their jobs magnificently to scuttle the visitors cheaply twice.

                          Just one change to the side, with pace bowler, Ben Sears, replacing spin bowler, Ish Sodhi.

                                Batsmen prospered and bowlers suffered on the 2nd Test pitch.
                                Having won the first test, we were reluctant to be too generous with a declaration, and so the game meandered its way to a draw.
