In 1997 a merger between Westpac and Trust Bank meant the renaming of the ground to WestpacTrust Park in line with the new bank's name. The ground is located close to the centre of Hamilton, New Zealand's fifth largest city 150 kilometres south of Auckland, and is renowned for it's village green-style setting, affording a picnic atmosphere for spectators. WestpacTrust Park has been the Northern Districts' Cricket Association's main home venue since the Association was formed for the 1956/57 season. It became New Zealand's newest test venue in the 1990/91 season when New Zealand and Sri Lanka played out a drawn match. In the 1992/93 season, New Zealand was defeated by Pakistan in an exciting encounter while two subsequent Tests have ended in draws (India in 1993/94 and Zimbabwe in 1995/96). The ground hosted its fifth test when Sri Lanka met New Zealand in the second test between these countries in March 1997. First Class use since 1956/57. Total capacity for cricket matches is about 10,000.

Rabeed Imam is a bua writer. Kono vabheii 7 am hote pare na.... He always makes mistakes in his writing. It's not the first time.

5 AM is the right time.

I like the team combination. I see this as a battle for place between Tushar and Farhad. Farhad would give the team more flexibility whereas Tushar would strengthen the top order. Also, Shahadat's effectiveness in ODIs is still to be proven. Its upto him to perform in the practice games and make a case for his selection. It would be a shame if our fastest bowler can't play in such seamer friendly conditions.
