da esport bet： 30-Oct-2003New Zealand Cricket has changed the date of its Christchurch andWellington National Bank Series ODI matches against South Africa toavoid a potential clash with a Crusaders Super 12 match in Christchurch,following a late change to the Super 12 schedule.Martin Snedden, the NZC chief executive said NZC agreed to the change ofdate of the Christchurch match to avoid a head-to-head clash with aCrusaders Super 12 match which otherwise might have been played at QueenElizabeth II Park in Christchurch on the same day as the Jade StadiumODI.The Jade Stadium ODI has been moved from Saturday February 21 to TuesdayFebruary 17 (as a day-night fixture) allowing the Crusaders Super 12match to be played at Jade Stadium on the Saturday.As a result the Wellington ODI has been transferred from WednesdayFebruary 18 to Friday February 20 (as a day-night fixture).”It is unfortunate that we have found ourselves in this position. Weworked with the New Zealand Rugby Football Union to avoid a schedulingclash before finalising our itinerary,” Snedden said.”Following a late change to the Super 12 schedule, Canterbury Rugbyapproached us with a joint marketing proposal which included asubstantial compensation package if we transferred our Jade Stadiummatch from the Saturday.”It would have hurt both cricket and rugby to play head-to-head matchesin Christchurch and would not have been good for fans of both sports tobe forced to choose between the two matches. We will continue to work with rugby in the hope that scheduling issuescan be avoided in the future,” he said.
