Story New Zealand International Season.

[cheaterr]

Hey guys,

Some of you might know that I wasn't able to continue my National League in England story do to firewall problems. Well I spent some time today in fixing that problem and some how I set the settings of Zone Alarm so it lets me upload on Photobucket. Now that I can upload on Photobucket I can do stories again. But I won't be able to continue the National League in England story as I have lost the saved file. So I have decided to start a International Season with New Zealand. This will include 2 home series and 2 away series.

The home series will be as follow:

Pakistan in New Zealand
England in New Zealand

The away series will be as follow:

New Zealand in West Indies.
New Zealand in India.

Paksitan in New Zealand will consist of 3 tests, and 5 ODIs. England in New Zealand will have the same number of test but 6 ODIs. The fixtures for the England series also include a 7th ODI but that ODI will only be played if the series is tied at 3-3 after the 6th ODI.

New Zealand in West Indies will play 3 test matches and 3 ODI matches. And New Zealand, while they are in India will play 3 test matches and 5 ODIs.


Patches that will be used.

Sams EXE
Tutsi's Patch 8.0(Hard mode)
Tv overlay will be the Ten Sports version of World Cup 2003.
Pitch ad and stumps will depend on the sponsors of the tour.

Commentators will be different for each tour so they shall be announced before each tour.

Pakistan arrive in New Zealand

Just a hours ago, the Pakistani cricket team arrived in New Zealand ahead of their first test match. Pakistan touched down in Auckland at 13:00 hours. Security was really tight at the airport as expected. Pakistan are due to play 3 test matches and 5 ODIs in their time in New Zealand with the first test match starting tomorrow in Eden Park, Auckland.

The players were greeted at the airport by senior officials from the New Zealand Cricket board such as Martin Snedden. Then they went into a coach which took them to a five-star hotel.

The Pakistani Cricket board will be resting at the hotel until 16:00 hours before they start a practice session at Eden Park before the first test match. We will be bringing you coverage from the practice session when it starts.

[SaiSrini]

Pakistan and New Zealand prepare ahead of the first test match​

With the first test about to start in less than 24 hours, Pakistan and New Zealand are at Eden Park practacing ahead of the match. Both teams are working really hard in their current session.

We had a short interview with the Pakstani captain, Inzamam-Ul-Haq during our time at the practice session..

Inzi on this tour:

I'm really looking foward to this tour. We've toured New Zealand before and we've had very good series here so this will be another chance to prove how good we are.

Inzi on the first match:

This match looks like to me it will be a really good one. If you look at the pitch it's really nice for batting so we will most likely see huge scores in this match.

Inzi on Shoaib Akhtar being selected into the side

Well I don't think it was fair for us to keep him out for such a long time. I mean he has proved him self already enough in the game and I think his attitude has gotten better so I fully support him in this tour. I will be expecting a lot from him in this series.


Inzi on Fleming's recent 238 for Nottinghamshire

That was a really good innings from him and he is in good form. We will try and get him out early in his innings in the first match because if he gets settled then it could cause problems for us.


Pakistani line-up for the first match(Prob.)

Yasir Hameed, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Yousuf Youhana, Younis Khan, Inzimam-Ul-Haq, Kamran Akmal, Abdul Razzaq, Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Sami, Shoaib Akhtar, Arshad Khan
