The Big Picture
It was affectionately termed “moving day” by one of Indoor Cricket New Zealand’s own cult heroes, and it proved to be the case with some teams essentially making their move as the battle for classification places started to warm up on day four of the WICF Junior World Series from the Action Indoor Sports Hornby Stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand. The teams now get a well deserved rest day tomorrow, after living in the cauldron of an indoor sports centre, to take in the sights of Christchurch. They will resume play on Thursday morning to do battle for another day where the lights will be on bright and the streams will on LIVE (courtesy of our streaming partner BLive).
