Provincial one-day cricket proved a popular drawcard at the University Oval in Dunedin yesterday, with the double of a sunny day, and a holiday, attracting 765 people.
Otago Cricket operations assistant Tim O'Sullivan said the association would be "pretty happy" with what had been a supportive crowd.
Picnic blankets, folding seats and chilly bins were the order of the day as the Otago Volts battled, but eventually lost the game to the Central Districts Stags by 59 runs.
For spectator Anthony Rodger, the game was a good way to get out of doing some more mundane chores.
"The sun's out and there's not a lot else to do" he said.
"It sure beats painting the house."
