What a knock, hate the aussies but was rooting for him to take it home.

Also, was it me or was it a small ground? seemed like 6s were flying off of his bat and way back into the crowd.
Yeah Eden Park has pretty funny boundaries, particularly the straight ones which are barely 50m. It's a really awkward orientation since they run the pitch perpendicular to the rugby ground rather than parallel. The next venue, McLean Park in Napier, does the opposite so the longer boundary is down the ground.
