***Official*** India in New Zealand 2020

The crowd attendance wasn't massive last night. Lots of empty seats. Looked like 90% of the crowd was passionate Indian crowd. Shows likely what effect the Aussie series has had. Probably NZC priced out the attendance too, looks like a ticket is priced at $60. It'll be a shame if crowd don't turn up, this is a good series with two very good sides particularly in white ball cricket. I can imagine the crowd at Sky stadium already in Wellington, it'll be sparse and likely made up of Indian crowd mostly.
I heard tickets were being sold for $90 lol..

I think CdG is worth persevering with at 4. He's had a good record there since being there permanently, averaging 26.88 at 155. Most destructive batsman we have when he gets going imo.

From adversity come good things. The BC's will be back. 2020 will be a massive year. Could see new captains for different formats at times (permanent role), fresh faces, new and more aggressive tactics. Although to be honest, our batting hasn't been enjoyable to watch in ODI's since 2016 (Mccullum's team). That team was fun to watch. Had openers, accumulators, finishers. Our T20 batting is great though.

Another thought, can't we try chasing at eden park for once in a t20? From recent memory we always bat first, make a huge score, and still lose.

That's a rip off... trying to go All Blacks prices shortly are we with the way the prices going up every season?
Honestly it's a joke. Should be $40 for a standard seat and maybe $60 for something fancy i that exists. I got an email from NZC with some supporters discount early bird thing and it was still $74. Ugh.

Imagine a family of four wanting to watch a game? It's priced at $91.60 for adults and kids 22.50 You'll have to fork out $220 for a family of four. Besides the game starts at 8 p.m Kids will snooze off. Meanwhile ticket cost for Wellington game is about $71.50 for an adult and $15 for kids. Mount is $60 and $11

This for 4 hours of cricket starting at 8 p.m Anything more than $40 for a T20 game there's bound to be small crowd.

Why is there so much parity in pricing between regions?

5 day pass for test match is $150 and day pass is $50 for the weekend.

Whenever India touring to another country why the **** hosting country sold tickets at high prize ??
It was the same prices when England toured NZ, and it’s the same when Australia come for T20s in March.

NZ Cricket are just greedy bastards who don’t understand that growing the game is a better idea than gouging and driving away the few existing fans.

nz A getting creamed. 30s for phillips and blundell, and some of the others will be pretty disappointed with themselves. rachin left a gate open and bruce shuffled across to nick off. chapman is still there so hopefully his one shot trolls a cameo before he part time spin memes his way to motm.

nz xi centurion from the last game jack boyle got out cheap today not taking a spinner seriously. swept onto his own stumps by the looks.
