Gone

Now I have heard the rationale, it does make a little sense.  Why schedule test matches (which apart from the Basin never draw a crowd) over the period of summer when everyone is on holiday looking for things to do?  Why not play the one-dayers after Christmas and save the test matches for later in the summer, when the weather is more settled anyway?

Still, from a personal perspective as a Wellingtonian - it is a very sad loss indeed.
