It's not much fun waking up at 3 am in the morning and watch a cricket test match.. or is it? Well, I here at Itsonlycricket.com love it, but can't say the same for most of cricket fans who have to work in the morning.

An India vs New Zealand test series, in New Zealand, brings about similar scenario when the test matches and Day one day internationals start at 3.30 am India timing. Probably cause of its awkward start time, India have visited New Zealand only 7 times in their 6 decades of cricketing hall of fame..

Fact : International cricket council (ICC) makes it mandatory for every test playing country to tour another inside 4 years duration, at least!

Fact : India's record in New Zealand conditions is very bad. only 4 wins out of 18 played! But having said that - every new series comes with new challenges and fresh hope.. Following is full schedule of India's tour of New Zealand 2009.

Only T20 = Wellington = 6th March
1st ODI = Napier = 8 March
2nd ODI = Hamilton = 11 March
3rd ODI = Auckland = 14 March
4th ODI = Wellington = 17 March
