On Wednesday February 20th,
I went out to Saxton Field to watch a cricket match between Central Districts
and Northern Districts. I had a great time meeting former Black Caps such as
Jamie How and Matthew Sinclair. I said
to Jamie How that I remembered when he last played for New Zealand.It was in
March 2011 against in Sri Lanka when he was dismissed by Umar Gul for four runs.
He replied that was correct. I enjoyed watching the cricket despite it being a
four day game and I learned that being out
in the fresh air for a long time makes you very tired and I learned that fast
bowlers make 30 metre run ups. During the course of a four day match they would
easily run over four kilometres on top of the distance they would run when
fielding. I spent the first session there and will do it again next year. The Saxton oval is a lovely
ground to play Cricket.
