Just when Wellington looked like they would win two out of the three titles this season, there could be a boss battle with Ross Taylor at McLean Park sprung on them here. If they were to lose it, there'll be a game against numerous big ND stars in Hamilton on the 26th.

Not to worry, none of the Black Caps are allowed to play due to the isolation period of 14 days for the players arriving from Australia 8-) Ideal if they play meaning Firebirds will also get Neesham, Blundell etc back but it won't happen.

Milne needed surgery after trying to bowl for Manawatu in January. Hoping to be off his full run early next month and may yet turn up on your TV in the English T20 comp, but it's very sketchy.

An injury and eligibility sheet I started. Yet to have too many helpers, but anyone can edit it with info they've read.

Yes this is right, but I see the IPL is yet to be fully canned, they're still thinking of an April 15 start there. Whether KW or Boult would bother risking an injury by turning out for an ND that's not even in the hunt, not sure.

Thanks for the updates, nzfan.

If you know of any names of support staff etc. at the other teams I could look up on Twitter who you think of as quite helpful guys, that might be good info as well. A few might not see it as their role to inform the fans, but even just one more team covered as well you covered Wellington would be nice, now that NZ's newspapers are virtually useless for domestic cricket (Otago the exception).

Awesome news to finally see Firebirds win and for the likes of Ravindra, Sears, Bhula and Troy Johnson this has come so early in their career it is amazing.

That said the Firebirds were on a roll and would have been great to see them carry on playing the rest two games. I don't know why the scrapping when they just finished the last round only two days ago. Still Firebirds were miles ahead of the other teams. Stoked to know we've sealed two trophies this year. Feels very glad but knowing the rounds didn't finish doesn't add to the kind of joy you generally expect winning Plunkett Shield.

Plunkett shield win after 17 years... that's a big deal. Knowing someone like Ravindra contributed heavily makes it even sweeter. Now looking back Ravindra's last two innings of 78 and 101 was stand out scores. I suppose the highest for both teams included in both the games. Obviously helped by stellar performances from Conway, Bennett, Newton, Sears and Neesham. It's a terrific achievement winning Super smash and Plunkett Shield.

Well done Firebirds. They've really turned it around in a few years. Edgar for BC coach.

Also, understandable to finish the PS early but was hoping for some epic contributions from the national squad members...and maybe some more points for my fantasy side.

Could have had 2 saliva free rounds. Reverse swing and spin to the fore, opportunity missed ....

Nah, on joshing.

Great career ... a true stalwart. Although I don’t think he was quite ever the same after Grant Elliott stood behind the stumps to face him.
