Cricket.

This summer, on November 5^{th ,} the Black Caps will play a twenty-twenty cricket game in Nelson against England. I am really looking forward to it and I am also going to see India play the Black Caps, in Wellington, at the end of January next year. I think Nelson getting a game against England is going to be great for the region and I know it will put a lot of money into the Nelson economy. I know commentators such as Ian Smith, Craig Cumming and Mark Richardson are fans of Saxton Oval and believe international cricket will continue to come to here because Saxton’s, like Bay Oval and  several other grounds around New Zealand  are cricket only grounds. Unlike Eden Park which Simon Doull  loves. That is why, when he comes to Nelson, I am prepared to cook up a 'Pukekohe v Canterbury Spud Challenge' which will be on the table for Simon if he wants to take it up.
