I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Great for Otago. Last year they were on a road to nowhere with a van full of nobodies, but now they've consolidated into a really good side, in the short form.
He was in my Uni hostel O'Rorke Hall. He would have been a handy T20 player today I imagine.The most etched memory for me from Firebirds is the catch from one called Mayu Pasupathi, a singled handed catch at fine leg. Was at the ground watching the game and I was stoked. Excellent crown numbers that day from memory.

He used to smash it. As an youngster played a club game vs OnSlow when he was at his prime and pretty sure we lost more than half a dozen balls. I was in awe of him then :-)He was in my Uni hostel O'Rorke Hall. He would have been a handy T20 player today I imagine.
Wasted talent, could do an outstanding impression - his 12th man impersonations were spot no.Speaking of old domestics. Sky this January played a replay of a 2005 HRV cup game during a rain delay in super smash telecast.
Was Auckland v Canterbury. Caught my eye was Leighton Burtt. Never actually sae him bowl before. He looked excellent. Can understand Wellington
in hope, keeping offering him contracts late in his career when he kept breaking down.
Proud to say I was one of the 27 spectators at that Henry Walsh 6 match.
I think the game where Henry Walsh hits the last ball from Peter Trego for six is another one they'll now throw on to fill in a rain delay. If we could somehow track down the exact guy who's making these archive digs, we could tell him all about the 2003 State of Origin game Jesse Ryder, U19 World Cup Bevan Small, Richard Sherlock etc. that it would be quite fun to see again.
