NZ stars must show Tests are top priority

New Zealand test and Indian Premier League regulars such as Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum and Daniel Vettori get a chance to show their true colours in a calendar conflict between the world's most lucrative twenty20 tournament and the first test against England at Lord's. Hopefully they show one true colour: white.
