"The clash in schedules seems to violate the terms of the eight-year agreement between NZC, the players' association and the six major domestic associations that called for a clear IPL window for New Zealand's cricketers."

how many test Oz play...4

That's because NZ has low standards just like the WI.

True. As the Englishman on Mason & Guest said, when you have 2 teams touring England the weak one does get the short end of the stick.

but white people are cold adapted. and new zealand weather can be like english spring. deh are are accustomed. deh cyan deal with it.

but it looks like deh will have to deal too with their domestic opposition on the IPL.

maybe dat new cricket president of theirs...the rugby fella... is out to take on the cricket establishment

When dem tour WI, India, Sri Lanka etc they have to contend with the heat so what is the problem with a little cold for the WI players.

They need to SUCK IT UP.

There are going to be some very unhappy Kiwi cricketers, because of this agreement:

Cue some WICB-WIPA type disagreements....

That would be a severly weakend kiwi team because I'm sure most of them would choose IPL over country just like the WI players.
