Covid-19: NZC moves matches to Wellington as Auckland goes into lockdown
The remaining matches involving Australia men's team and England women's side will be played behind closed doors

I was going to the wgtn match with the lads. Now we'll be catch up to watch it somewhere. Good that its continuing but...
-
@paekakboyz You are still allowed attendances of up to 100 at level 20 so your number might come up in the sweepstake draw for those hundred tickets.

Fuck, things have definitely escalated since I last checked. What’s the go at level 20 ? Do I need to set up a toilet in the bedroom ?

Level 2 disruption aside, this has been the most appalling scheduling by NZC. Starting on a Monday night was ok just because it was Australia and it was Hagleys' lights' debut so we sold it out. But then a day game midweek followed which is ludicrous at the best of times and worse still is thoroughly disrespectful to cricket fans who subscribe to Spark Sport wholly to follow the game but can't watch it because (hello, NZC, do you fucking realise this??) they have jobs. This is then followed by a week long break including a weekend with no games.

@shark the day game was absolutely crazy. I didn't even check the time so only realised I'd completely missed the game when coming on here after work. What the hell were they thinking?

Day game fpr a T20 is just dumb. A day game during the week is retarded
And this is T20, this "tour" should take 2 weeks maximum. Although if they need to quarantine for 4 weeks because of it...

i know im in the minority but i enjoyed the day game, had it running on the on the screen whilst working
far too long a gap between games though

Friday night's ratings will be interesting. I'm sure Sky wasn't that keen to move the rugby so it will be SRA vs T20 cricket. I guess it comes down to your preference and if you have Sky or Spark sport.
the next game is Friday? you get less of a break between tests!
-
Tomorrow and then Friday. Some games will be double headers with the women's T20 vs England.

Not only that, but the Aussies only came out of MIQ on Sunday night, so it was less than 24 hours to playing.
You'd think it'd be far better to go
Weds evening Hagley
Friday avo Dunedin (finish at 5, to allow the rugby double header)
Sunday 4pmthen , if you really need a break, fun a Friday/Sunday double again - or a Fri/Sat game at the same venue.
bah, bloody humbug

@nzzp Yep much better plan, that one.
It was really weird going to a cricket game after work, and on a Monday night. We had discussed getting a marquee and making it a customer event, but it was a bloody Monday night. One of our competitors got a large quantity of GA tickets and had food and drinks on prior at a nearby bar but the turn-out wasn't great, being a Monday bloody night.

I went along with some clients, and we had a surprisingly good turnout. Covid has canned so much sport that it was a bit of an event.
Superb venue, loved it - it's like the Basin but with a nice surround. And a short walk to town afterward
