One thing i learned this morning which shocked me (considering all this talk about IPL not interfering with intl cricket), is that Vettori, McCullum, Oram (and i think Mills and Taylor?) miss 2 of the 1st ODI's vs England?! Series will be over before they come back!
It's obvious that money comes before country. Pietersen saying it's unfair they can't play for the IPL but not long ago he was complaining that they were playing too much cricket. I can't believe that those NZ players are going to miss the two ODIs.

I can't see Patel playing any part in the 3 Tests early season.
