A very interesting discussion going on here. All the points you raise are very valid. I agree with the South African side of things, it is a little too far to travel, but if it were a viable option, I do think it would benefit both NZ and Aus. I would also like to add (which I did briefly in the article) as well as it being beneficial for the teams and players, I believe it would also be hugely beneficial for cricket as a whole in both countries. If you look at crowd stats in New Zealand for domestic cricket (I don’t have exact numbers), you’re looking at a maximum of 2,000 to a game and even that may be pushing it. Imagine if we had Australian teams playing! Those crowds would be enormous a) because the level of cricket would increase out of sight and b) because I would imagine it would bring the trans-tasman, we love to beat the Aussies, rivalry. Look at the crowds in the series at the moment, I’ve never seen crowds this big for cricket in New Zealand. I would think it would have a similar effect in Australia. Your crowds in domestic cricket would be fairly good I imagine, but again, Australia loves beating New Zealand, so people would turn up to watch. I don’t know, maybe an Aussie could shed some light on that for me, but that’s what I would think?

They should set up a Super Cricket series

OJ - Not an epic Wimbledon final? Are you serious? It had so many twists and turns: 1) Roddick won the first set - not many people would've been expecting that, 2) He should've won the second set, but Federer came back in an amazing piece of brilliance to save 4 set points - not many people would've expected that, even with Federer. It proved his class. 3) The fifth set went for about 90 minutes (the longest fifth set in Wimbledon history), it went to 16-14 and I for one thought Roddick had it considering Federer hadn't broken his serve all match. That to me is an epic final. I couldn't take me eyes off the screen. I'd be interested to see your thoughts on whether any of you thought Hawkeye was wrong on a couple of occassions? There were two times when Roddick challenged and got it wrong. But his reaction showed that he thought Hawkeye wasn't accurate. And on one of those instances I thought the ball was shown to be out when Hawkeye called it in. Maybe it's my eyesight, but it looked incorrect.

Federer makes Grand Slam history

I saw that one too... Just as bad a decision. There's already an article on that. But I agree, it was bad.
