Creating a customised itinerary to watch the World Cup is kind of fun, involves a lot of flying though.

Games to take in (subject to securing tickets of course)

Mon Feb 16: 5th Match, Pool B - Ireland v West Indies, Saxton Oval, Nelson
Thu Feb 19: 8th Match, Pool B - Zimbabwe v TBC, Saxton Oval, Nelson

Sat Feb 28: 21st Match, Pool A - New Zealand v Australia, Eden Park, Auckland
Sun Mar 1: 22nd Match, Pool A - England v Sri Lanka, Westpac Stadium, Wellington


Domestic transfers, whether these are available at this time and price in 12 months remains to be seen.
Wellington-Nelson flight $226NZD return.
8am-8.50am Wellington to Chrsistchurch sub £50 one way (cutting it fine for start of Pak v WI)

I'd love to go back to the MCG - the only Test/international ground I've ever been to.....why I haven't been to Lord's or the Oval is depressing and something I must put right....It's on the bucket list!

If Afghanistan can turn over Namibia in the next couple of days, they will almost certainly be the 14th team t the next WC, behind Scotland, the Netherlands and Ireland.

Only two qualify though. The other two qualify from a competition in NZ just before the WC. Of eight teams.
I always say that everybody's right.

Ah yes they do. I forgot about that. I just hope that one of them is Afghanistan.

ICC have announced ticket prices for the World Cup

As little as $20 for adults and kids tickets are $5 across the board, superb value for money.
