What happened to Carisbrook hosting cricket?

The whole ground really isn't up to scratch they don't even like hosting rugby there hence the new stadium. The scarfies will probably ruin the new stadium as well can't wait for that first couch fire!

They should redevelop it for Cricket, or create some ground for cricket. It's a shame to see Dunedin missing out on ODI and T20 cricket.

 

[Howsie]

That's pretty silly surely they could have just rearranged the timing, like start 1 hour earlier.

You'd think so.

Common sense never seems to prevail in the cricketing world.

Daylight saving finishing is the cause for the loss of the 3rd test.

No It's cuz of the IPL

Yea maybe. But Justin Vaughan has come out with that as his excuse.

Yeah well I'd heard it was cuz of the IPL.

This just shows how overdone ODIs are now. I don't believe we have ever had a 5 match ODI series against the Kiwis.

In 1993 NZ played a 5 match odi series just before the Ashes, and again in 1998, 2000 and 2005 and 2009.

Why do you think?

Why do you think?

There is more cash involved in the ipl.

There is more cash involved in the ipl.

Exactly. Shame I know but that's how it is.

I have no problem with 5 ODI's but there should atleast be 3 tests. I've always thought it was a 5 match series anyway? Atleast that is what I remember. It is the yearly CH trophy that should be scrapped.

 

[IanG]

Well I think the 5 ODI series will be for the Chappell/Hadlee Trophy. I don't have a problem with the Annual Series.
