That might have been the one where Preston and Nash competed. Two guys renowned for their fitness. I think it was about 96/97 and Nash was out of top cricket recovering from a back injury. Preston incidentally was also a very good cricketer apparently.
Most competitive bloke I have ever come across.
Still young enough for probably 2 more of these.

I've seen a little bit of Archie Sims in the Wellington team. He looks pretty good when he gets going.
The Auckland captain has a cool name so looked him up - impressed in Gillette Cup. https://www.nzc.nz/news-items/cbhs-...ship-record-en-route-to-gillette-cup-decider/
Apparently, Otago have brought in Jamal Todd and Thorn Parkes for Llew Johnson and Dale Phillips for their last two Super Smash games.
This is 100% true. He couldn't do anything non-competively. He played a couple of games for my club when I first started, and a mate made the fatal mistake of pulling Dion's first warm up ball in the nets. The next ball was 20km quicker, he probably overstepped, and right at his head. The whole of the resulting spell was fiery as ****, too. We soon learned not to pull our place bowlers in the nets, ever
Zero chance. Smithy would hate the new set up. I think he subtely mentioned as much in an interview in an article somewhere, can't remember where. But nah he meant that, saw his opportunity and took it.
Isn't this guy a notorious alcoholic
Smithy’s just calling as he sees at, which most of New Zealand would probably agree with. The TVNZ crew are horrendous. Almost make the game impossible to watch.
Sky was crap too. McMillan is hopeless he was with Sky too, same with Richardson. Stevenson is a joke, you’d think he hated cricket and was trying to ruin the experience for everyone. Less said about 99 percent of the female commentators both Sky and TXNZ have had over the last few years too.
