You must mean 12-13 years ago, seeing as he's 31 now and his one and only first class match was half a decade ago.

Wow that long ago?? The footage must have been as he played that match 6 years ago. I remember that they profiled him and then he failed in the match. Memory playing tricks on me - thought this was recent.

you're not fooling me I know you're already watching my every move

Let me know when you have a room to spare, "Rodriguez".

I'm picturing me playing sort of an eccentric Kramer or Larry David figure to bounce off you (Seinfeld) and Phlegm (Elaine). Sitting on your couch and plucking away on your bass when you return from Uni and work, wandering through Hamilton during the day and getting into petty conflicts with the everyday agribusinessman and agribusinessgirl. Sounds like a genuine upgrade as a lifestyle for me itbt.

Sounds like another local hero/myth that never came to fruition.
Pretty much; did better with the ball than bat in his only FC game, and that was that.

Apparently he's only made 5-6 tons for Hamilton since, and you don't knock the door down with returns like that.

Serious sucker-punch victory coming up for Canterbury it seems. 171 run first innings deficit, then 57/3 chasing 397, now 295/4 with McClure on 140*.

I don't think Hawke's Bay are especially happy that Carter/Boult/Hampton were 'dropped' by ND for this fixture. That being said, Carter's been batting like ****, Boult's been bowling like ****, and Hampton's probably not a clear improvement on Goodin anyway.

.... and as straw man writes this, Andy Ellis puts forward his entry to the "Goober dismissals of the year" award ...

Otago went to Hunter and Craig Smith rather than Duffy for some swing with the new ball, did they. McClure not really negotiating the movement convincingly, but it's one of those very docile and forgiving South Island pitches that Fulton has enjoyed throughout his career.

Am sure it is, though unthreatening pace attack, Kitchen bowling 20 overs, three wet-ball changes and no turn on the fourth day (surprise!) surely adds to that.

I would ask how on earth Canterbury managed to be dismissed for 180 in the first innings but I've already seen it's because they batted abysmally. And now they're going to win.

Haha I would've just about walked off the park if I was Hunter after that fifth ball didn't go to hand.

Black mark against Stead that it took so long to promote McClure to the FC team.

This isn't just a ooooh U19 cricketer, SELECT HIM! Rant.

McClure had a good A tourney last year. But Canty had Hira opening and Fulton in the middle order.
