There isn't a hefty Kiwi County Tour crew this winter rolling through County Championship fixtures, however the stars aligned ahead of Matariki for Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Jacob Duffy and Will Williams to all lace up in the same round.
Last summer Michael Bracewell churned out 190 runs @ 19avg in Aotearoa's Plunket Shield and as a sign of the fresh vibes offered by Matariki, that campaign has resulted in a Blackcaps Test debut.
England snared their first Test win over Aotearoa since 2015 to start the tour and snatched away any slither of World Test Championship hope in the process.
Three kiwi boxers fighting in the same overseas event? You don’t get that every week, that’s for sure. But old mate Lou DiBella and Bob Arum/Top Rank had a big one in Melbourne on Sunday arvo
Back in March, Otago Daily Times reported that Glenn Phillips would venture to the deep south and join younger brother Dale at Otago Volts.
It’s easy to lump praise upon the greatness of Trent Boult. With more than 300 Test wickets to his name – and counting – at an average under 28s, and a stack of fabled swing bowling masterclasses amongst his highlights, the numbers and the memories each speak for themselves
