The NZ SA series tests start on a Sunday and Tuesday
But given SA are sending over a 4th XI noone will go anyway
Will be interesting to see the crowds for that series in both Mount Maunganui and Hamilton, I just listened to the Grandstand Cricket Podcast where Ed Cowan said that the first four days of both the NZ v Aus test matches are sold out, small grounds admittedly he said (Wellington and Christchurch).
Hagley Oval (Christchurch) holds 9000 normally but can double that if they need to. Hagley Oval is situated in the city's parklands and surrounds are public playing fields. It's the replacement ground for Lancaster Park that was destroyed in the earthquake and unable to be rebuilt due to the soil conditions
Yeah the Basin is basically a roundabout! The highway runs basically East/West and the South exit is Adelaide Road that turns into the Parade in Island Bay, where my mum is from.
