Sky sport 1 (NZ)which channel???
Around 30,000, looks pretty packed as well.Hows the crowd ? Kiwi.
200 wouldn't be a difficult chase on this ground
AMI is pretty small as well lolIs this the smallest ground in the world? I think my club ground is bigger than this
Very similiar to Hong Kong Sixes this ground
I'm actually getting bored of the sixes lolPretty fun for a T20 though.

Marshland, any idea when NZ are gonna host the T20 world cup?
it would be amazing, the grounds there are perfect for T20s.
2014 in Bangladesh, 2016 in India and 2018 in Pakistan (?), so not for the foreseeable. It's like the administrators love keeping it within the sub-continent.
People shocked at the ground size? cricket has been played at this ground for 80 something years.
The reason its small is because its a rugby ground because cricket is not popular enough here to warrant many specialized grounds. Its unfortunate really.
Westpac stadium in Wellington is a good size ground and the test venues are bigger grounds.
This stuff is impossible to follow in the UK, ridiculous timings. T20s start at 6am, ODIs start at 1am, Tests start at 10pm.
Good win though.![]()

Yep ground didnt look as small when New Zealand were batting!
England batted, bowled and fielded better today. Decent performance.
A but off topic, but your username has fascinated me for quite some time. Mind sharing what it means?![]()
I have no problem whatsoever with the small grounds of NZ. It is an attraction for me and makes the cricket experience there unique. I would be pissed off if NZ in future construct big, cricket only grounds.
I tend to agree. And Eden park has 2 boundarys that are normal size anyway. Its just the weird dimensions that made the straight boundarys so short.
I do prefer test venues to be much bigger which is the case for most of our test grounds.
late nights for the tests, warm up for next years away Ashes.
Always happens when the Barmies are in the town.This is the biggest crowd ive seen at cricket match in NZ for years.
WTH
We just had the 50 over World Cup there
The Champions Trophy was originally planned to be hosted in Pakistan so,
2009 CT = Pakistan
2011 World Cup = sub continent
2012 T20 World Cup = SL
next three T20 WC in subcontinent again.
Thats like 80% of the ICC events for a good decade in Sub continent.
What is ICC smoking?
Always happens when the Barmies are in the town.I remember the commies going on and on about "the biggest crowds in the years" when England last toured there in 2007-08.
