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.

@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.

@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 sameHaving 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 -

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.
Limited overs cricket's biggest issue is that it's basically impossible to win the game batting first. No matter how well a team does, the chasing team always has a chance to win (see Australia scoring 434 vs South Africa), and I think this is particularly the case for T20 cricket. Martin Crowe used to say you should never bat first in T20 for that reason.
It makes me wonder about the old Crowe idea of two innings. To prevent it being too much of a hit and giggle you could make it one innings split into two (i.e. the batsmen in resume in the first over of the second innings). Also means that the team batting second has some more interesting decisions to make in their first innings - if the team batting first has got off to a flier do you try and match them, not knowing if they might collapse in the second innings? Likewise if you've bowled well in their first innings do you take it easy and risk having them finish fast and leave yourselves too much to do in the final few overs?
