Does the fact that he actually got three ducks in a row at one point make it a full house?

Needs a bit more than a 5 game streak at 30+ years old to show its a genuine improvement more than a purple patch, though I admit I haven't seen him bowl in that period.
He's got talent for sure but I think there are more likely horses to back and it was a weird call for this version of NZC who are pretty risk averse.
2 & 0 in his first game. Out LBW to Andre Adams both times

Will Bruce get his 100?
Do I need to tell the story of being at that game, because I've told it heaps but I really enjoy it.

No but he got two ducks in his first two ODIs, you're probably thinking of that.

Crazy to think how poorly he averaged in his first few years. Really only fully clicked from about age 23 or so

Robinson looks alrig' as a fill in seamer. Not great signs to rely on that though. Would be interesting to see a few more deliveries as I see there's a number of no-balls between the wickets.
I remember that game like it was yesterday. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...d-vs-northern-districts-305053/full-scorecard
There was a bit of hype around about Kane, this 17-year-old kid on debut who'd been burning it up in the age groups. But he ran into an angry Andre Adams at the worst time
In ND's second innings, at the end of day 2, it was incredibly dark. Andre got Brad Wilson lbw, and Kane came to the crease on debut. He was all at sea, couldn't lay a bat on it, and Andre got him lbw (think this was the season Andre averaged <10). Then Bruce Martin walked out as nightwatchman ahead of James Marshall who was the captain and batted 4. Then Watling got out, Marshall came out, and Andre gave him the greatest spray I've ever seen on a cricket field. Like I'm sitting up in the EPOO main stand on the #2 and I could hear it word for word. 'You weak c*nt, sending a f*cking kid to do your job for you, you're weak as p*ss' etc. And Marshall was not out at the close, and it continued all the way out to the boundary. It was the most incredibly sustained sledging effort I've ever seen.
Nuts game, was over early on day 3. 18-year-old Tim Southee took a six-for, Auckland were 85-8 until Reece Young and Greg Morgan on debut put on 150, and they won by an innings scoring 286.

I've heard that story before and it never gets old.
