The Indian team had left Perth for Melbourne on March 7 and reached Auckland from Melbourne at midnight (New Zealand time). From Auckland, it was an hour and half&rsquo;s bus journey to Hamilton.
Auckland to Hamilton is a 25-minute flight and no big airbuses operate on that route. The ones that operate are 10-seater small air planes which certainly wasn&rsquo;t enough to carry a jumbo contingent of 33 (15 players and 18 support staff).
&ldquo;Actually if you check our travel schedule when we were coming to New Zealand, it wasn&rsquo;t a great one. As much as we have tried to manage, we couldn&rsquo;t because of the time that we landed in New Zealand, we had bus journey (Auckland to Hamilton). Lot of people had problems in adjusting with the change of time and it affected their sleeping pattern,&rdquo; Dhoni said taking a dig at those who chalked out the travel schedule.
