Heading home

The final day produced epic Test match cricket, full of ebb and flow and drama and it's a shame that there were not many people in to watch it. But overall, New Zealand has been a wonderful place to tour and this is the place to be. The stadiums have been stunning (although Auckland is clearly a rugby ground rather than a cricket ground) and the scenery has been great. Off the field it's clean, tidy and orderly and full of fabulous people. That said, I'm looking forward to heading home for Easter. The clocks go forward at the weekend to herald the arrival of spring... albeit under six feet of snow. See you later.
