SPLENDID SUMMER OF CRICKET (Tests/ODI/T20 Schedule)

@Baron-Silas-Greenback Did you delete my amusing post, Baron?
That's my second deletion in about 20 years - a memorable moment!
No idea about the CEO of BoP cricket. Google suggests Chris Rapson. Is it you?

Nope, I am way nicer, and not an accountant.
There is 2.35 million people living within 3 hours of Tauranga. Which region that missed out on a decent amount of games has a higher population within an easy drive?
Lets look at your beloved Nelson. How many people live within 3 hours drive? -
@Baron-Silas-Greenback Nelson has got roughly what we deserve. We've built an excellent facility, but we don't have a big population - though if there are games between 25 December and 7 January then there's a vast influx of Cantabs.
If you can explain why Tauranga and Hamilton collectively warrant all those days of cricket compared with especially Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch (but also the various CD venues) I'm interested to hear.

Population, attendance records and facilities. And that doesn't even take into account touring team preferences, and yes they do get a say.
Each deserve roughly the same amount of games as Wellington and Christchurch. And significantly more than Dunedin and other small cities.
And you dont have a 'vast' influx from Chch, because Chch isnt that big to start with, live within 3 hours drive of a city of 1.7 million and get back to me.
You want to figure how many Englishman and and Indians live within a 3 hour drive of Hamilton or Tga?who exactly should have got games ahead of Tga and Hamilton? Who didnt get the right amount? Lets get specific rather than you just throwing corruption allegations against David White

@Baron-Silas-Greenback don't forget half the black caps live in Tauranga, and I think they've moved their training base up there. So it's kind of the 'home' of NZ cricket players now.

Not a Sri Lankan or Bangladesh game to be seen. Glorious.
Yup, the downside being we might lose more than we win! But great to have so many world class players visiting our shores.

From what I hear Christchurch turned down the offer of a test match v England in favour of a 20/20 instead.
This makes me pretty angry, devalues the members ticket I have considerably.
Does Hagley have lights?
