Series summaries

Cricinfo provides us with two summaries of the recent test series in Zimbabwe. The first highlights the return of Shane Bond. The second, by Andrew McLean, asks and then attempts to answer a number of important questions posed before the tour began.

Both articles highlight the fact that New Zealand is not scheduled to play another test for seven months. McLean, however, hints that this might not turn out to be the case and that something is up with the scheduling of the tests against South Africa (which have already been moved from October 2005 to April 2006). It would be great if that were true and we could get some test cricket this summer.

The New Zealand Herald gives us a third series summary, but apart from a few extra words about recreational activities it doesn't add much.
