Kiwis are in the town

Kiwis are in the town for a full fledged series incl 3 Tests and 5 ODIs. 

They are inexperienced lot with 3 only players having a worthwhile experience in Tests - Baz, Danny and Ross Taylor. 

Its their 3rd tour in 11 years but first in 7 years. 

They toured India in 1988, 1995, 1999, 2003 and now. Last time they won a test in India was in 1988 in Mumbai when Hadlee was around. 22 years on they have not won a Test in India, but they have not lost that badly either.

0-1 in 1995 and 1999. 0-0 in 2003.

This time around they do not have personnel to win a test, let along a Test series. There are exciting batsmen in the team but are they good enough to post big scores to pressurize Indians. 

As Danny said tonite in the press conf in Ahmedabad a scoreline of 2 draws (1-0 in either side) would be a kind of job well done for his young side. 

NZ have not been a formidable Test side in past few years and now they have ceased to be a good decent ODI side as well. 

A 3-0 and 4-1 victory for Indians would be a cakewalk and little less than it wont be acceptable.
