Answer 1

Australia is considering looking at a series of T/20, & yes, I think NZ should be included, just as they are in our rugby league competition. It would make for a more interesting & strong competition.

Answer 2

Yeah, it would definitely heat things up a bit!

Answer 3

yeah stuff it, why not, playing againist the strongest players from the other country will make both countries players stronger, therefore, down the line, making both countries national sides stronger!

also i believe it would add a bit of extra niggle for the players and the fans, because everytime an australian side plays a new zealand side, theres a little bit of national pride on the line as well.

it seem to be working in rugby union (also including South Africa) and netball has just introduced such a competition and it seems to work for them, so why wouldnt it work for cricket in T20 (not in ODDs or first class cricket tho, as that would be a logistics nightmare)

Answer 4

Is Australia gonna start It's own league? Haven't heard of it!

Answer 5

It is quicker to get to NZ from the East Coast of Australia than it is to get to Perth so distance certainly wouldn't be a problem!

Answer 6

yes!why not?

Answer 7

im not going to say no!!  might spice things up a bit

.

Answer 8

Yeah I'd be happy enough with that.

If the Aussies got to face Macullum and Oram it would be good.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

If they are constituting a league similar to Indian Premier League, no only New Zeland players, but players from other countries can also be included.
