The time has come
The relative low success rate of teams travelling to New Zealand may have much to do with looking upon the assignment as just another tour
There is little of the excitement associated with going to England or Australia or Pakistan; or for that matter South Africa. Maybe it is because we do not see a lot of cricket from New Zealand, maybe the time difference is a factor or maybe, it is just not exciting enough. New Zealand, maybe, is a bit like a number six batsman who hangs in there, bats with the tail and returns 36 not out. Effective but not exciting.
