England V New Zealand Test Series May/Jun 08

I've been watching the IPL as well; the joys of being a student. Pretty good entertainment so far. That innings that McCullum played was absolutely amazing. Think it was 13 sixes he hit.

In response to the thread starter, I love my cricket. Although we are missing Flintoff I see a few young players making big impacts this summer, Broad and Bopara especially.

Stuart Broad can really establish himself this summer. A bigger Q is whether Sidebottom can continue his fine run of form.

Keep an eye out for Adil Rashid, the Yorkshire legspinning AR, he may well end up with an Eng cap before the year is out. Gives the ball a real rip, and bats a bit too.

Without Bond, the Kiwis should not pose too much problems. But the Saffies, Steyn, Ntini et al will bring fire later in the summer.
