Part of it, yeah.
But a lot of the grounds in New Zealand - the ones that are actually cricket grounds anyway - are so beautiful, there are lots of day games, the crowds always seem into it which helps the atmosphere and with New Zealand Cricket there's still an over-riding sense of caring about home ODIs that you don't always quite get in other countries. Best lineup (or what the selectors think the best lineup is) is always selected and the games there always seem to have some sort of competitive edge. It just seems like it'd be a great day out honestly.
All in all it just reminds me of what ODIs were like to me when I first started getting into cricket when I watch games from New Zealand on telly. I was looking forward today as much as I'd usually look forward to a Test, and I've been really enjoying it.

Which is what he has that Trott doesn't. I like Trott, but I just don't see what he can do to dictate accurate bowling and accelerate his inning. He's usually fine playing the quicks up top if there are a few bad balls, and milking the spinners in the middle, but he has no release shot.

Lol.
Just short for his height then.
Incidentally have you caught any of Mohammad Irfan in action in the SA/Pak test? I think his alleged 7' 1" is overstated myself.

Am on record guesstimating him at 6'9"-6'10". He's crickets Andre the Giant (Andre wasn't even 7 foot tbh).Lol.

Yeah, I'd say that's more like it.
Doesn't look any taller than Tremlett to me, although the Surrey man looks to maybe stand up straighter in his delivery stride.

Still remember Franko hitting 144kph vs WI in 05/06. Heady times.

I don't really know quite how I feel on grounds in New Zealand. Ones like this are beautiful and maximise the visual experience of watching, but the rugby grounds like the one in Auckland are just not pleasant at all for me.
Really wish they were playing a test in Hamilton instead of Auckland.
