              Fifteen T20s, surely this is a bit of an overkill.

                How so?
                I also have some very reliable oil that touring teams request to play at he Mount and often make it a condition. NZC use it as bargaining chip. Indian in particular play quite hard ball over venues. And Bay Oval is the top of their list.

                    By the numbers by destination:

                    Auckland - 4 T20's and 1 ODI (One T20 is still subject to late night consent)
                    CHCH - 2 T20's and 1 Test
                    Hamilton - 1 T20, 1 ODI and 1 Test
                    Tauranga - 1 T20, 1 ODI and 1 Test
                    Wellington - 2 T20's and 1 Test

                    Napier, Nelson and Dunedin all get 1 T20.

                    Hamilton and Tauranga the place to be!!!

                        Yay Eden Park is actually getting a few games this summer, look forward to taking the boy along. He's finally taken a real interest in cricket and has been asking me to teach him how to play.

                          I think the first test of the year.. in November is also best played in a location with good climate and drainage.
                          Bay Oval has by a order of magnitude the best drainage of any venue in NZ

                            Test cricket in Mount Maunganui. A childhood dream since first going to an Eden Park test in 1986 🙂

                              @Baron-Silas-Greenback Sorry but did not make it clear enough. I was actually referring to the comment you made about the BCCI placing the Bay Oval at the top of their preferred venue list.

                                Grin and bear it mate, it's the only format that makes any money🙂 for the greater good...

                                  To re-shuffle Hooroo's work by Association:

                                  ND - 2 tests, 2 ODIs, 2 T20s
                                  Auckland - 4 T20's and 1 ODI
                                  Canterbury - 2 T20's and 1 Test
                                  Wellington - 2 T20's and 1 Test
                                  CD - 2 T20s
                                  Otago - 1 T20

                                  No doubt about which association has won the jackpot, regardless of your oil.

                                  Similar story to last summer as I recall.

                                      @Chris-B or perhaps the allocation reflects that over 50% of NZ’s population lives within Auckland and ND.

                                      Proportionately light for Otago perhaps tho.

                                          How many people live in Tauranga and Hamilton? Compared to Auckland?

                                          NDs been given twice as many days (14) of international cricket as the next best Associations (Wellington and Canterbury with 7 each), which aren't Auckland. And they're all being played in Hamilton and Tauranga.

                                          No wonder you guys are able to buy up all the Black Caps! 🙂

                                            @Chris-B we’ll be fine until Auckland sorts out Eden Park or an alternative for cricket, then it’ll shift again.....

                                            50% of NZ residents within a three hour drive of the Mount in the meantime 🙂

                                              @Donsteppa I bet the numbers of people driving to Bay Oval from Auckland don't stack up! 🙂

                                                David White is really glad-handing his old mates at Northern Districts!

                                                How so?
                                                I also have some very reliable oil that touring teams request to play at he Mount and often make it a condition. NZC use it as bargaining chip. Indian in particular play quite hard ball over venues. And Bay Oval is the top of their list.

                                                To re-shuffle Hooroo's work by Association:

                                                ND - 2 tests, 2 ODIs, 2 T20s
                                                Auckland - 4 T20's and 1 ODI
                                                Canterbury - 2 T20's and 1 Test
                                                Wellington - 2 T20's and 1 Test
                                                CD - 2 T20s
                                                Otago - 1 T20

                                                No doubt about which association has won the jackpot, regardless of your oil.

                                                Similar story to last summer as I recall.

                                                And why would you do it by association? How is it relevant?

                                                  Clearly you’ve never been here in December or January - we can’t get rid of them!! 🙂

                                                        Yes. You basis of accusation is arbitary. He also favored cities with low latitudes. I am asking how association is relevant, you are the one that claimed it was. You obviously think White is corrupt, and based his decisions on who he knows. Who is the CEO of BOP cricket and how does he know White?Clue.

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.

                                                                              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?

                                                                              3 hours drive radius of Tauranga at new year is about just short of Omokoroa.

                                                                                  I was reading somewhere that they want to get lights down there but the resource consent is currently too strict and there are vocal opponents because Hagley is a public park.
