Sure is and I feel privileged to say that I have played on that hallowed turf, but with no international cricket played there anymore the closest ground I could go to would be the Queenstown Events Centre which is about a 3 hour trip one way.

The only game I've been to was the List A final between Central Districts and Northern Districts a few years ago. Sadly CD lost but it was a close game. For the final all the international players were released. Oram, Sinclair, Taylor(Not a black cap at the time obviously), Mason, How (I think) vs Vettori, Tuffey, Marshall twins. Styris was injured but he was watching from the sidelines and chatting with people. Good bloke actualy. It's great to be able to walk up to an international and exchange a few words with them. Nice words obviously.:)

International cricket has completely ceased to be played there? I'd noticed there hadn't been anything there for a while, but didn't realise it was terminal.

A shame, I liked that ground.

I think that's the case, something about the ground not being up to standard. Most of the domestic cricket that Otago play is at the University Oval, which is also quite a nice ground by all accounts.
