They always have been for mine, they've just had Skippy Sinclair being Bradmanesque for them most seasons to make it less ****ty.
Best batting line up at the moment is probably Otago.

Going back to Cachopa. He's had a Hay-esque start to his career so I wouldn't be surprised if his next domestic season is a bit poor. Edit: as having a gun couple of seasons followed by a dip is not uncommon it would seem.

Fringe batsmen from other provinces should perhaps look at moving there to get some regular game time like Cachopa did.

Ahh yes, i can feel another season of ND-Otago hegemony coming along

Ideal situation for Otago would be Ryder continuing to destroy domestic attacks, Redmond being good, Bracewell getting even better, and the all-rounders stepping up.Ahh yes, i can feel another season of ND-Otago hegemony coming along
Bowling could be another story completely though. Although with an ODI-heavy summer, Wagner should be around for large parts of the FC comp.

As an Aucklander, pains me to agree with this, but this is nothing new. The fact that Brad and Tarun can just walk back in is just the usual Auckland Cricket way.

Yeah we're looking very reliant on Hay and Kruger atm, but we've never been that reliant on Skippy. Taylor, Ryder, Ingram, Oram, Hay mk I (and mk II looks set to continue), Weston, Kruger van Wyk and How in his early days scored plenty of runs. We're suffering from How's decline and a glut of retirements, but to say we have always been reliant on Sinclair is ignorant.

Remind me again how many first class matches Ryder, Taylor and Oram played for CD? Remind me again how many seasons in a row Sinclair put over 1000 on the board at an average exceeding 70?

Remind me how many the others I mentioned played?
They weren't there for long, but they were class when they dropped by, along with the others mentioned.
All of the players I named would make any FC side in this country since 2000 except for maybe How, but How in top form would still get into most.
