Forget the Ashes.....this is the series to look out for

picture: Could these scenes be repeated in Wellington?

While many people in the "mainstream" media are talking up The Ashes as the tournament to watch in 2009, the series with the most exciting prospects is getting overlooked: Yes, that's right....India's tour of New Zealand.

These are the facts: India have not won a Test in New Zealand in over three decades, and apart from the loss in the Test series last time, they were beaten 2-5 in the ODIs.

So the scene is set. Can you picture it? I'm drooling already.....although I have severe gastric at the moment. James Franklin in Napier charging in to Tendulkar....Sharma struggling against the might of Mills and Redmond. I'm pointing north already.... and i've just read Ian O'Brien's blog
