yes; I think the worst was the old AMI Stadium in Christchurch. I remember that fine leg when the DRS haterz played there was around I think 50-60mtrs to the rope, a flick of the hip was 20 rows back for six. I'd say the basin might be the biggest or the wellington stadium

Turns out the reason the BCCI are being poo poo about letting English county players play is because the ECB were poo poo about letting IPL teams play exhibition matches

quote:

A hard line adopted by the Indian board towards English county players practising in India has its roots in a much deeper dispute arising from the ECB's refusal to allow IPL teams to play exhibition matches in Ireland and Scotland.

The ECB holds the broadcast rights for both Ireland and Scotland and used its right of veto over televised fixtures in those countries to prevent what it saw as IPL infiltration on its own territory.

Tensions surfaced at the end of the fifth IPL last year when the BCCI approached both Cricket Ireland and Cricket Scotland directly, to check if they were interested in playing exhibition matches against a team of IPL players from different franchises.

It is understood that Cricket Ireland's initial response to the offer was that they did not have sufficient funds to host the matches. In response, the BCCI said it would underwrite the players' costs and that the arrangement would therefore be financially attractive.

However, ESPNcricinfo has learned that the ECB then refused to sanction the matches in any circumstances because it was concerned that its lucrative broadcasting deal with Sky TV, which guarantees exclusive TV coverage of cricket in England, Ireland and Scotland, could be undermined in the long term by the alternative attraction of an IPL side playing in Ireland. The Sky deal underpins the survival of first-class cricket in England.

Under the terms of the ECB's deal with Cricket Ireland for 2008-13, it gained ownership of media rights for all Ireland's home international matches. In return, Cricket Ireland receives an annual fee, the chance to play in some of England one-day competitions should it so wish and coaching support

I for one and shocked beyond belief that the ECB would be arseholes when it comes to broadcast rights and their deal with Sky.

More like Ireland didn't want to jeapordise their own funding and coaching but left it to England to sort it out and be the bad guy, as per.

I would normally take the side of England, but anything that makes the ECB, Giles Clarke and the Sky deal look bad is good in my books.

On the other hand, the BCCI...

Its a moral dilemma that I can't solve.

It is quite hard to take the ECB's side on anything purely because of Giles Clarke. If he was Indian and head of the BCCI he'd do exactly as they do now. loving peas in a pod, they are.

Just poo poo cricket!

Coming in off a fairly long run just to deliver 125kph half-trackers, which the batsmen either glided to third man or swatted somewhere in the mid to long off region for singles.

Or the bouncer length slower ball which just sat in the air for a full second before the batsman just straight-up missed it and it got to the keeper on second bounce. Or the exact same thing the very next ball except it hit the pitch harder and went over the batsman's head for a no-ball.

Just poo poo. I wish I had recorded it and kept it around on speed dial youtube for whenever the Australian state system was mentioned.
