Can New Zealand afford to win?

Poised to boost earnings through lucrative broadcasting rights for the five-week tour, New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan said the sheer volume and passion of Indian fans around the world made this tour three times more valuable than any other.

Imagine if New Zealand were to win the series, the payouts for the next series against India maybe dismal.

Against this background, do you think the New Zealander’s can afford to win the series?

Ott, very good thought there. They cannot, but they will try their darndest.

The interest in the tests after the ODIs, t20s (mostly D/N, right?) will be abysmal - game starts in the middle of the night, wadaya expect.
