But that's my point. England guarantee a good crowd. But we didn't get Mumbai etc. We got Hyderabad plus 4 other venues that had hosted 7 tests between them in their history.

Yeah. Dunno. I'd have thought Mumbai + Kolkata + three others would be the way to go every time England play.

That one in the Himalayas, though. Can't remember its name. Should play lots of tests there just for the views.

In NZ, they play tests at smaller grounds because a crowd of 3–4,000 looks fine there, not so great at a huge stadium. But this series has shown that that's just not an issue in India. It was really pleasing to see 20k+ turning out regularly.

We are in definite agreement here.

NZ venues, with their grass banks, look pretty cool too. I'm in a strange position, life-wise, and considered going. Up to about 10 days ago tickets were still available.

£20 each. Or £90 if you wanted to go through ticketmaster or whoever.

NZ in december/january is quite lovely. So I'd say do it if you can afford the airfare. NZ aint cheap though once you're there.
