NEW ZEALAND V AUSTRALIA: TEST AND ODI SERIES
Will one of the worlds fastest men play?
The traditional trans-Tasman rivals clash again. It's the Kiwis taking on the Aussies in New Zealand. This series will be a fiery encounter between two traditional enemies. Australia have already made it clear that they have come out a stronger team after destroying the Windies in Australia then beating India also on their home turf. The Kiwis have recently been touring the West Indies; results of these matches will be posted shortly. Australia arrived in New Zealand early to warm up ahead of their 3 test matches and 3 ODI's.

Katich in the nets
Key Factors
Shane Bond: There is a big question mark over this man. Will he play? If he does this will certainly be a huge boost for New Zealand.
Glen McGrath: Australia will definitely miss one of the best bowlers going around. Will the Aussie attack be able to take 20 wickets?
Form: The Kiwis are currently in great form for ODI's but their test performances have been in doubt.
Schedule: Australia has just played two home series comprising of over 10 test matches. Could this affect their play?
McCullum has a hit in the nets
The Kiwis would like nothing more then to beat the Australian's at home in front of a home crowd. Australia would love nothing more then to beat the Kiwis away from home. With this mentality in both camps this series is looking to be a vicious and fiery one, which is what we would all love to see...
