Home away from home
Apart from his regular duties as New Zealand team manager, Dave Currie has another very important task on the eve of every New Zealand game: help provide a feel of home for the players by creating a sort of mini-New Zealand within the dressing room
Just like he has done in dressing-rooms across venues in both India and Sri Lanka, Currie spent a major part of Monday putting up six large-size postcards, depicting the major sights of New Zealand on one of the walls. In addition to one with kids playing beach cricket, the postcards mainly carry some of the more famous and scenic sights from back home
