We're not playing less test cricket than, say, 10 years ago. But overall we do seem to be playing less cricket. In terms of days of cricket played, 2005 and 2006 have been real lowlights, with 54 days of cricket in each year. 2007 is showing to be a bit of an anomaly but that's largely because of the tedious World Cup. Between now and the end of the year, if we're lucky New Zealand will play five tests. That will be the lowest since 1991.

| 1997 | 10 | 17 |
| 1998 | 6 | 23 |
| 1999 | 13 | 26 |
| 2000 | 9 | 25 |
| 2001 | 8 | 23 |
| 2002 | 8 | 31 |
| 2003 | 6 | 29 |
| 2004 | 10 | 25 |
| 2005 | 7 | 19 |
| 2006 | 8 | 14 |

I'm really loving the India v. Bangladesh revenge tour. I was looking for a place to watch it online (I live in the US, no cricket on TV here) and I found this great website. Not only live streamed cricket, but chat and stats too. Take a look:
