It's being played in a back garden somewhere in Welly

Poor crowd, poor venue.
Should have played at the Basin -
Been a stunner of a day here in Aucks. BBQ, couple of cheeky beers, cricket on the tele, cricket & frisbee in the yard with the boy.
The rugby feels like yonks ago now. Bring on the summer of cricket!

Just casting my mind back to Bled II at Eden Park. Don't think there's been anything of note since then.

Mitchell finishes the job. Pretty good win that.
Guppy, Rosco and Neesh all finding some form early in the season which is good to see. A sound effort in the field as well.

Museum Stand almost back open though.
They would have backed themselves to get a bigger crowd. However, $60 for a T20 is sort of taking the piss. That is expensive, even though you can get 20% off. If I was paying that, I would expect to have the best team playing. 5 T20s is also overkill and it is early in the season. It's hard to care much for these games.

@hydro11 it was $60 a ticket?? wtf, good luck with that NZC.

Arrogance! What's next? How about NZC screw over their fans by selling the broadcast rights to games at home and abroad to two separate providers oh wait.....

Yeah it'll cost me at least $135 to take the family to Eden Park next weekend, quite a bit more if we want decent seats. That's pretty pricey for a T20.

exactly. was planning to go with a group of 10 workmates - went online to buy the tickets, saw the price and changed the plan to watching it at the pub.

They got around 10K, which wouldn't have fit at the Basin as of today. I'm sure NZC was hoping for a bigger crowd but I wouldn't pay $60 either.

I think they are pricing themsleves out of the market. I was tempted to head along to Eden Park with my lad, but I don't love T20 cricket, and at $80 bucks he's got to be super keen. He's ambivalent - prefers playing to watching. So not going.
Would spend more on Tests and ODI, but realise I'm a minority. Such is life

I paid $60 to go to the T20 here on Christchurch, was a full house so the market was obviously willing to pay it. Was a decent game, although we never got out of second gear and England won easily enough. Good to see us win yesterday to keep the series even.
