England in New Zealand 2008 : Tour schedule

Filed under Eng in NZ 2008

England-Cricket-Logo-90.jpg They say the ball swings a lot in New Zealand. but so does in England, which means batsmen from both teams are confortable playing against one another in each others country.

Now I'm not sure I've seen England team play test cricket in New Zealand in short career Itsonlycricket has online, but February to March of year 2008 gives me an opportunity I don't want to miss. England have always played good test match cricket but Kiwis at home are always a force to reckon with. Although the record suggests very differently.. out of 41 England vs New Zealand test matches in New Zealand, England have won 16 and lost only 3.

New-Zealand-Cricket-Logo-90.jpg Kiwis certainly have a task in their hands to better their record against English boys at home, and following England vs New Zealand test & ODI series match schedule should give'em an chance. The one day Internationals (5 ODI series) will be played right after the twin T20 Internationals England-Newzealand play at Auckland and Christchurch.

The Eng v NZ three test matches (National Bank series) will start from March 5th and England team would pack their bags back home on 26th March 2008.. Following are the dates to remember for all you England and New Zealand cricket fans.
