Domestic Cricket 17/18

Of all the obscure sports we've had threads on over the years, NZ domestic cricket is right up there.

@mariner4life as you can tell from the heavy foot traffic on here tonight that it’s a topic in high demand.... 😴

I see Siefert smacked the daylights out of it to get a record tonne. Well done that man. Of course it had to be on the night I was actually doing something other than being the only loser in the country watching the McDonalds Big Smash on a Friday night....
He couldn’t hit the skin off a rotten banana last night!!!

It was an awesome night at the Bay Oval. What a ground and what a match.

NZ T20 cricket is incredibly strong. Real quality contests.

For fucks sake Southee! Fucking pies!
They are cheap in the bay area - Southee can probably afford to give them away. Can be as low as $2 but the quality may be poor.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11959701As for NZ T20 - yeah it is good. I have warmed to the whole concept but prefer a test. They are just different games. I quite like baseball as well.

I took my son to the game, and told him how out of touch Seifert appeared the previous evening. I was made to eat my words by the most audacious display of power-hitting I have witnessed. It was McCullum-like. Hope he kicks on for NZ
But, the astounding thing we picked up was how few balls he had faced as he progressed. -
Good work BOPCA.
Not just the lights, looks like they've doubled the height of one of the embankments? Is that on the salt mountain side?Just need the perimeter trees to grow/mature now. What have they planted? Pohutukawas? and the crowd burn for 15 more years? Or some fast growing exotics? I'll bet they've gone the natives.

The new lights.
Use LED, which judging by video in this link seems to mean they can be turned on and off instantly, without the 20 minutes to warm up to full brightness that I remember from the old grounds.
