There's a decent TAB outlet at Glen Innis, you have can have a punt on the game before you go and watch! Owzat?

Yeah it is, Eden Park Outer Oval is part of the construction site from now until whenever it's ready for the 2011 World Cup apparently.
But our payoff for that is that apparently they're going to upgrade the Outer Oval afterwards and hopefully have Tests there. That'd be awesome.

A yes, of course.
The outer oval was fantastic as it was. Getting to sit on the boundary rope was fantastic. I hope they don't change that whole "picnic" atmosphere.
Drove past Colin Maiden Park today...almost had a head on trying to see the pitch. Doesnt look as though any temporary stands are going up or anything...Auckland games are going to be just like club cricket games, fantastic
You talk about wanting them to keep the picnic atmosphere at Eden Park, then go on to complain that they're not putting stands in at Colin Maiden?Drove past Colin Maiden Park today...almost had a head on trying to see the pitch.

And since when has an Auckland (non 20-20) game ever required a stand?
The main concern I have about Colin Maiden is the fact that its generally a green, seamers paradise, we might not be seeing many high scores this season!
Edit: I assume you were being sarcastic when you said "fantastic"?
Where's this? 
Uhh...I think you took what I said completely the wrong way.
I wasn't complaining that there are no stands going up, I was surprised. I just automatically thought some sort of temporary stands would be going up to cater for 20/20 crowds.
And no, of course I wasnt being sarcastic. It is great that no stands are going up, like the Outer Oval people will just be able to sit on the boundary rope and watch the game, and play backyard cricket next to the field. Far better atmosphere than a concrete jungle.
No idea why you thought I was complaining, or being sarcastic.
It's pretty easy to get to..it's near Panmure. It's Auckland Universities home ground...if that helps at all.I'd no idea where it was located either. Glen Innes is a bit out of the way.

Cricketer Of The Year
Yes that does help, maybe the ground will be easier to get to after all.
Same here, he was looking pretty good as well, scoring a century in a 2020 game just last week.
Was expecting him to really get some runs in the Championship this year.

Roneel Hira to have a strong (or at least competent) season and become NZ's 2nd spinner ahead of "Mr Ineffective" Jeetan Patel.
I'm pretty sure Merchant already does qualify for NZ. His mother (I think) is a kiwi so he should have a kiwi passport.

So you don't rate Patel and you don't rate Vettori. Look at the guy trying to be different and controversial.
