The 'clamour' only died down to a 'murmur' re PlayHQ because everyone was gaslit into accepting it. They can trumpet 'improvements' all they like, but they are merely fixes to prevent the system crashing. Still missing are the things cricket nerds/kids loved such as stat tracking, MVP points, wagon wheels, live DLS par scores, seasonal leaderboards, career stats, milestone tracking etc.
It is genuinely a terrible piece of technology whose progress is glacial at best. Perhaps it was made by the same outfit who made the Sky Sport Now app?
Yep, the lack of clamour reflects a growing indifference to NZC I think. PlayHQ is the ne plus ultra of what the bigwigs think of the people in the game at grassroots.
It remains a POS, that at least doesn’t crash as often. Audience engagement? Don’t make me laugh. You can’t follow teams or players, you can’t search for games or results.
The irony, or maybe more appropriately the clear example of *why* we got this shambles imposed on us, is I guarantee the system to process the $7.50 payment will work brilliantly. Because that is the most important thing after all.
If you want to see how utterly disinterested PlayHQ are in the people their system is inflicted on, have a look at the ‘tile’ for Hockey New Zealand (to open the page for NZ hockey comps)
This column has completely lost me ...for example ,what the comment about Frank Worrell's 1961 Australians about ? Wasn't FW West Indian and 1961 ?? who remembers anything about 1961 ?
