Third umprie was Shaun Haig who played a reasonable number of seasons batting in the top order for Otago so I'm extra curious about the rationale he worked through, since as a batsman he'd be aware of how much more a poor decision given hurts than a poor not given decision.
Completely useless Fern link to fame - I played against Haig in his first senior game in Dunedin - he was only 15-16 or so and was appearing for Taieri having only played for The Taieri High School prior to that (which was not a cricketing school at all). I was a wise old 17-year-old at the time.
It's fair to say he went a bit further than I did...
When you have breakfast with Jerome Kaino, Liam Squire, Joe Moody and Damian McKenzie let us know. Otherwise keep your anecdotes to yourself.
Ben Smith was the owner of my house two owners before me. I asked him about it after a Highlanders game in Melbourne, and he confirmed that was the case. Still probably the strangest question he's ever been asked by a fan post-match.

Marty Berry sold my folks a house a few years back in the rapa but I can't beat that Ben Smith anecdote.
Back to the cricket I think that team of @Sneakdefreak s is spot on. There is enough genuine class to go very far in the tournament if things click.
Despite the fern hatred for Colin Munro none of the guys battling for the last spot are terrible players. It's a good spot to be in.

@MN5 don’t think it’s hatred of Munro, more a hatred of the fact he’s not scoring any bloody runs....

Yeah good point. You know what I mean.....
I still reckon he'll make the squad though and the selectors will point to his bowling as being part of the reasoning.

They've invested a lot of time in him, I think he'll make it too

bowlingexperience as being part of the reasoning.My thoughts, possibly Seifert for back up wicketkeeper even though his fucken poor at it.
World Cups need experience, or so it's always mentioned, which I believe is true

I remember he got 50 odd batting at 11. He's no fucken Chris Martin that's for sure.

At the time I was so fucked off he took what I believed was the Neeshes spot. I was pleased to be proven wrong.
I saw the jav at trentham last year ( free food and piss in the corporate lounge, ordinarily I'd rather have my teeth pulled than watch horse racing but free is free and I am Scottish ) and people were coming up to him and shaking his hand. Looks to be an absolute top joker.

Or the last. Far from it but happy to admit it which is a trait some ferners could work on.

Has Seifert ever played hockey? Asking for a friend.
Yes, played for midlands rep side and NZ under 19

I suspect he might be the best current international no. 11.
