Now that Kippax drills down his insinuation, I do recall a few nocturnal visits to various streets in North East Valley. Luckily most of them were on the flat. The hills and valleys came later . . .
Which begs the question - were you chasing grannies in there? Is that the Garden Seat?
Hamilton vs Waikato Valley sounds like a mismatch. Hamilton must be stacked.
The Valley had a decent team. Tim Seifert and Zak Gibson. Plus Anish Desai and Sam Cooper who are both ND A players. They managed 280 in the second dig against what was pretty much a first class bowling attack. Hamilton is good but the Valley isn't that far behind.
In saying 'pretty much a first class bowling attack', you miss that NZC/ND restricted Kuggs and Baker to 12 overs in the match. Throw in that they rested Watling and didn't release Devcich (lol), while Santner was also out for World T20 duty, so you sub them in and Hamilton goes pretty close to being a passable FC team on its own:
Canterbury: Peter Fulton (c), Michael Davidson, Leo Carter, Chad Bowes, Ken McClure, Andrew Ellis, Todd Astle, Cameron Fletcher, Tim Johnston, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Hamish Bennett
Probably unlikely because he'll still be attending school when the 2016/17 training and matches begin. Edgar did seem genuinely interested, adding assistant coach Pocknall in the cc of his reply. I told him to specifically offer the carrot of the new ball's swing to Smith, which he won't get in Otago.
Haha. A lot of people I know have a romanticised view of the Valley, as being cool and stuff, but don't live there anymore. When pushed why the usual answer is "cold and no sun." Most overrated suburb/area in Dunedin.
Krusty Korner is rank. Been there twice; the second time to give it a chance after having a terrible lunch and terrible coffee there the first time. It was just as bad second time round.
Nothing wrong with a bit of experience. I think that was the name!
wot? bloke has 50+ test wickets at a respectable average
