Australian cricket fans were green with envy, akin to the day one pitch at the Basin Reserve, by a proud tradition at the Wellington ground during the opening test against the Black Caps.
Australian commentator Adam Collins shared an image on X of the tradition at the Basin
Reserve where fans are allowed to walk on the ground and inspect the pitch during the lunch break.
Kids are even encouraged to play their own game on the outfield during the 40-minute break.
“Can’t do the same in some countries mainly the subcontinent ones. Kiwis are nice and mannered people, we can’t say the same for others,” an X user commented.
