4 test in 18 months. I feel sad.
Why even bother with Tests if that is out lot?
I imagine in that same time frame, the Aussie, India and England will all play 20-25 odd tests against each other?
What a joke.
In the same time, England has 21 tests

Root is going to race ahead of Kane in runs scored and for some reason, that always seems to be used as a measurement when assessing "greatness". They are neck and neck for tests now despite Kane having a 2 year head start.
Cook has played a ridiculous number of tests, isn't far past 30 and has Sachin in his sights for total runs - no New Zealander will ever get close unless they can play test cricket for 30 years.

We're pretty fucking far from being a minnow in test cricket. We've got some world class players and a fair bit of talent to back them up. We slap the minnows, including Sri Lanka and the West Indies on a regular basis, and we've never even lost to Bangladesh (huh Aussie). In fact the only thing that really stops us improving is a complete and utter lack of test cricket. 4 tests in 18 months is ludacris!
It's even more of a shame now that we have one of the worlds premiere batsmen in our ranks, and he won't be able to show how good he is because he won't be playing.
What a joke.
