An absolute joke of a performance by Otago in the Super Smash. 30-8 in the 9th over

He is right though. Just bloody embrassing

Population and funding starting to show through for both Volts and Highlanders unfortunately. They've won the comp twice, which is a bloody good effort, but the current crop don't look good

It's no fun supporting the Volts.

@SouthernMann bloody delightful watching that performance. Firebirds continue to break records this season.

Plenty of talent have come out of the province. We screwed around Mike Bracewell. Nathan Smith is a good Otago lad who fled for opportunities. Mike Rae left for Canterbury. Same with Rippon. Decent players, no continuity

Yeah really shithouse aye. There are good players there. A fair bit of potential, just no one to string it together

It's going to be embarrassing if we lose.

It’s ok, Henry Nicholls is at home, we’ll be fine

Here’s one stat I found quite amazing.
NZ have NEVER beaten SA in a test series.
As in never, ever, EVER !
We’ve beaten everyone else at least once ( apart from teams like Ireland and Afghanistan due to not playing them )
12 series since readmission, first in 94/95. You’d think we might have snuck a couple at least. Five series prior to that, probably no surprise they cleaned us up in those days ( although an impressive 2-2 draw from 61/62 was a great effort )
If only Hadlee got a chance to hurl some immaculate line and length and seam movement at them back in the 80s…..sigh.

@MN5 We'll never know how good SA would have been if they weren't banned from international cricket in the 70s/80s. Some great players during that period who never got to play international cricket.

Absolutely, this guy would have definitely made it five great all rounders of the 80s

Excellent bowling average but not a huge amount of wickets for the amount of matches.
Probably a better bat than Imran, Beefy, Kapil or Paddles though. The latter spoke really highly of him in his book.
