The 90's was not the greatest of eras for the BC. Had some seriously good players but over relied on Canterbury and Northern Districts from memory. Our depth certainly wasnt great back then either.
Not sure if it was our coaching but our results were pretty shit.
Hell we even lost to England at home around that time and they were shit in the 90's

A lot of guys retired from the 80s era, Crowe was shot on the injury front, and the next generation weren't quite ready at the time, so we had a lot of stop gap players.

We’re underway. Strong team, loads of batting. Nice to see the Neesh back in.

Let’s give them a hiding

I love the dulcet tones of Ian Bishop in commentary.

Fantastic bowler in his day, had a few injuries though.

No Quarter

Jamieson's numbers in all of the shorter forms don't make for great reading, I am not sure he's that well suited to it. His FC and test record are out of this world though. We just don't play enough tests for him to be a specialist test bowler, but I am also not convinced he should be in the T20 team. He probably doesn't make the side if all our bowlers are fit though.

So Duffy is a liar then?

No Quarter

That was definitely out, it changed trajectory slightly after it hit his hand. It is a bullshit way to get out though.

Apparently so.

MN5

Nice from Foulkes. Bowled.

No Hope for the Windies now.

The guy batting got out too.

Gunner

Chasing a modest total of 165, none of our batters are finding any timing and making hard work of it.

85/4 from 12.
Need 80 from 48 balls now

MN5

Mitchell gone. Stupid shot.

Lucky we bat pretty deep, we're going to need those runs !

Gunner

This is a terrible batting display.

88/6 now.

on paper.

Bracewell goes with an even dumber shot than Mitchell. Ridiculous.

Gunner

This is trash to watch.
Look like a club presidents third XI trying to get bat on ball.

MN5

Neesh holes out.

Surely game over now with the run rate as it is.

Gunner

102/8, and that’s bed time.

They should be bloody embarrassed with themselves.

Higgins

Well a 23 run over helps just a wee bit but with 9 down it is still improbable.

Higgins

Then twelve more of the next three balls as Santner going crazy

MN5

Last over. 20 needed with one in hand. Santner has been sensational.

Does Shepherd play Rugby ? certainly wouldn't look out of place in a number 8 jersey.

MN5

What ? how was that bouncer not a wide ????
