Black Caps v Pakistan

Biggest hit of the night.
-
Can only assume the pitch evened out and got quicker with a bit of dew after the sun buggered off?
What other explanation is there to the lack of slower balls or variations, especially after Phillips made a point of it in his interview.
Ah well, bring on Boxing Day and the real cricket.

Comms said as much, backed up in an on field in game interview with one of the BCs. The pitch lost all it's variable bounce

Yeah, I thought we'd defend that fairly easily.
Good thing I don't bet on sports eh

I was so, so tempted to put a wee bet on Pakistan after your massive jinx-y comment, but was just too damned lazy.

I set it up for you, but you didn't take the bait?
We did not bowl well. They cruised it in the end

You'd better be ready to duck and cover from @Nepia @Stargazer @Higgins and the rest of the HB posters...
You're right though, I'm not sure why we're playing cricket on a rectangular field, when there probably a dozen or so proper cricket grounds around the country capable of hosting.
On that, I don't know why Cobham Oval always misses out. It's one of the biggest grounds in the country and fits their favoured 'boutique' criteria.

@Gunner and by all accounts and very good ground to play on.

no one cares bro, it's cricket season
a field that doesn't drain if it rains, is the size of someones back yard, and has to have a "sun break"
fuck it off, it's barely 3rd world standard.
