Jamie How of New Zealand is caught at slip by Paul Collingwood of England (GettyImages)
Following a successful tour of New Zealand at the beginning of the year, England will be looking for a repeat performance on their home turf, this time chasing all three - Test, ODI and Twenty20 victories. New Zealand Captain Daniel Vettori and Wicket Keeper Brendon McCullun, will have to adjust to the slow-burn pass of Test Cricket after their time in the Indian Premier League. England Captain, Michael Vaughn had inferred that Andrew Flintoff may make his Test comeback in the first Test at Lords. Part of Vaughn’s strategy is linked to supplying the team with a real fast bowler before the series with South Africa later in the summer. However, Flintoff is injured and has been ruled out. New Zealand can take comfort from this news.
