Just been watching the 20/20 from Auckland and can't believe how short the straight boundary was (and that's coming from somebody who watches his cricket at Taunton). I can't believe that they can play a test on that pitch. I know they have drop in pitches, do they have drop in outfields as well? |

Yeah, but they only get them out for rugby. They were retracted. So Napier, Hamilton and Eden Park have short boundaries. Wellington grounds have a bigger boundary. I think the Westpac is the biggest on the tour. It just looks much smaller when you're there. |

Obviously it makes the T20 more 'exciting' as there are more boundaries, as witnessed. Same for both teams I suppose. |
