Now that the Indian cricket tour is nearing the end, it's time to ask: Why have we been so nice to them? asks Paul Lewis in the Herald on Sunday.
Successive Indian teams here have found unsympathetic pitches and New Zealand's battery of medium-fast bowlers snorting and pawing the ground, knowing the ball would fizz about and make batting uncomfortable ... Yet, for this tour of New Zealand, we have produced good batting tracks, like that billiard table in Napier.
