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.

As 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.

I'm wondering if the new Perth stadium has them as they were talking about a light show there and how the lights just came back on without warming up.

I am sure all new grounds will have them.

Mark Chapman will be a New Zealand international batsman before too long. I would be giving him a go in the T20s against Pakistan.

[African Monkey]

@hydro11 He should be there now ahead of Kitchen. Nothing against Kitchen, but Chapman is 10 years younger and is a star in the making.

[Crazy Horse]

@hydro11 google tells Chapman plays for Hong Kong. Is that the same player you are referring to? Are no restrictions on players swapping between teams like Hong Kong and NZ? Yes, I am too lazy to look that up myself.

[Siam]

@crazy-horse if i recall Hong Kong is an associate member ( like tier 2 in rugby). Years ago I went through a qualification period to play for an associate team.
Took 4 years of 183 days present in the country per year. Back then they checked and added passport stamps.
2 players only in the 12 for 4 year qualification and then 7 years at the same 183 days for full qualification
I notice that Jofra Arthur has another 2-4 years in england to qualify. He's from Barbados, so maybe the rules are the same

Having said that, it wouldn't surprise if a kiwi passport (if he has one) and other considerations make it easier to go from an associate nation to a test playing one.
I remember hearing his name when playing in HK. He was a wunderkind with Jamie Atkinson

[LABCAT]

Chapman is a dual citizen and eligible to play for NZ as soon as selected.

[Gunner]

Super smash final on now, Knights v Stags.

Stags currently 21/2 after 4 overs.

Ryder and Young back in the hut inside the first 2 overs.

[Gunner]

25/3 now, Bruce gone.

[Gunner]

53/4 from 10.
Cleaver gone for 10, controversial caught behind decision.
Probably evens it up though as one went the other way earlier on Worker which looked out.

[Gunner]

Brownlie takes a blinder of a catch to get rid of Worker.

If they weren’t already, the Stags are in real trouble now at 57/5

[Gunner]

Stags limped to 99/8.

It’s a tough pitch to bat on but all the Knights need is one batsmen to come off and she’s game over.

[Gunner]

Knights racing along.

53/1 from 5.
