    Dimension of the old Eden Park, Auckland boundaries

    Here is a photo from the 'youtube' era: (it looked like this between 1992 and 1999)

    Dimension of the old Eden Park, Auckland boundaries

    From the 1954 Commonwealth Games, when it was less developed and could fit an Althletics track layout inside it.

    Dimension of the old Eden Park, Auckland boundaries

    This photo is probably from the early or mid 1960s. So not from the era you would be seeing on youtube videos. But gives an idea of the orientation relative to the shape of the ground. It has the southern grandstand (A 1960s structure I think, maybe late 50s). But doesn't have the northern...

    JAMTests - they are upon us

    Nah. It's nothing to do with bagging players and their commitments. But bagging the ACB who have been the worst of the Big3 IMO is 100% fair. I'm not talking every year stuff. But tour your neighbour at least every 4 years. I mean, NZC under White were also evil and probably begged the ACB not...

    JAMTests - they are upon us

    I also think context should be put on "arbitrarily resting players from tests in marquee series". If you shrink a 5-test series into 6 weeks, then you will need to rest some players. But the alternative. From the past that we are breaking from according to this theory. Involved 5 tests spread...

    JAMTests - they are upon us

    It's interesting, England and Spam/Jam tests. Despite the 'reaction' by overseas fans to "England saving test cricket" that is bandied about now with bazball. As a fan from NZ, England are doing the most to save test cricket. Due to the simple reason that they actually tour, tour often and...

    JAMTests - they are upon us

    My general response to the thread topic is "no". But it is an interesting topic. Not something I had thought about before. On the subject of "historical context" and "continuation of tradition". As long as things (like the SA tlur of NZ) stay a fluke anomaly, then it will remain just that...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Didn't realise that. A favourite Newton moment, When an at-the-time fringe provincial club cricketer got himself in the mainstream news: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/right-move-in-wrong-clothes-costs-cricket-fan-100000/WS3LY7NF3WSXNWDRQBHW422X7I/

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    I think the loss today eliminates ND from the Ford Trophy. They are passed by Auckland to qualify for the 2nd v 3rd eliminator.

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Was wondering when the last person was to get a test debut who hadn't already had a taste of some JAM series beforehand. Probably Jeet Raval, 2016? Seems an almost mandatory stepping stone (thinking about Nathan Smith). Actually. Sommerville would be the last. But that is a very niche role...

    Newton looked to be bowling half pace today.

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    Plus NZ are operating under the burden of quotas, or rather non-transformation targets. NZC mandating that the team contains 90% over 32-year olds over a 12 month period. So, big asterisk against Bedingham' ton here. Up against against 35 and 38 year old dobblers, when they aren't the best...

    " ruled out of cricket until at least next summer" And we have our busiest off-season possibly in our entire history.

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Bugger. Thanks god that they actually had the balls to debut O'Rourke. I don't want to watch if both Southee and Wagner are playing.

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    The "This bowler" section of the live scorecard on cricinfo is interesting. (I've not seen it before, doesn't show on the mobile version). Kane currently 40 runs off 45 balls v Piedt. (Young 6 off 28)
