Now I obviously know what that means (!) but to help you out it translates roughly as ‘The hilltop where Tamatea, with big knees, conqueror of mountains, eater of land, traveller over land and sea, played his koauau (flute) to his beloved’.

Tamatea's beloved was in fact his brother who was killed during a battle in the area.

Fortunately for our commentary team the third Test takes place in the much more easy to pronounce Napier.

It's England's second visit to the city this tour - the last match here was the international which ended in a tie.

It will certainly have to go something to match the excitement of that, but there is plenty up for grabs here with the Test series level at one all.

Last time we were here we stayed in the same hotel as the England players at .

It's an interesting hotel built around a crazy golf course with each room blessed with its own whirlpool bath.

The TMS team are elsewhere this time, but I am told the English journalists staying at West Quay are having all sorts of fun and games.

With many of the England players' families also around now, space at the hotel is at a premium.

Peter Hayter of the Mail on Sunday has been housed in a converted garage, but that is nothing compared to David Lloyd of the London Evening Standard.

When he opened the door to his designated room he found a double bed and full-size kitchen - very nice he thought.

He then turned around to find he also had 10 bunk beds in his room!

David went to reception to ask if there had been a mistake to be told "sorry sir, that's all we have left".

He's now deciding whether to try and sell the bed space to members of the who may be looking for accommodation, or do a Goldilocks and sleep one night in each bed!

Napier is a fascinating place which attracts visitors from all over the world mainly because of what happened here at 1045 on Tuesday 3rd February 1931.

In less than three minutes a registering 7.9 on the Richter Scale crumpled the city to ruins. But it was the reconstruction of Napier which brings its fame.

When the rebuilding took place it coincided with the Art Deco trend in architecture and the vast majority of buildings in the city centre remain in that style leaving Napier now prized as "The Art Deco Capital of the World".

You’ll hear much more about the city when our reporter Alison Mitchell presents her "Postcard from Napier" during our coverage of the Test and, as you'll hear, Alison enjoys a bird's-eye view of the city care of a flight over Hawkes Bay with pilot Agnew at the controls.

Other things to look forward to during our coverage from McLean Park will be a tribute to who is playing his last Test.

We'll report on Cardiff's preparations to host an Ashes Test in 2009 and, talking of Wales, former Welsh football manager Bobby Gould will join us for a View from the Boundary.

Gould is now coaching football here in Hawkes Bay but he is a cricket obsessive. He's not only going to all five days of the Test, he's also been seen at all the net practice sessions as well!

ECB chairman Giles Clarke will report back from a fascinating ICC meeting in Dubai.

I'm sure you'll want to have your say on such subjects as Darrell Hair's return to top-flight umpiring, the Indian cricket leagues, a new-look World Cup and the trial of a system where players can request that decisions be reviewed by the TV umpire, which looks set to take place during England's series this summer against South Africa.

You can have your say as always on this blog , text 84040 or e-mail tms@bbc.co.uk.

And I'm also looking forward to what our commentators will come up with on the air.

I'm always amazed at what talking points arise during commentary. I'm not sure anything will beat former Australian fast bowler Damien Fleming's "one hit wonders sung by one Test wonders" a couple of years ago.

Arnie Sidebottom sings "Saturday Night" by , Tony Pigott performs "the JCB song" by Nizlopi - you get the idea!

But in Wellington, Bryan Waddle introduced the theme of players with the same surname having the largest difference in height.

The subject was inspired by comparing centurion Tim Ambrose with Curtly Ambrose. We had Robert Croft and Colin Croft suggested … but can you do better?
