The annual pre season trip to Hastings will take place this year on the 24th to 26th of September. It will consist of a 40- 50 over game on Saturday followed by a Twenty20 game on Sunday. Collegians are looking to send two teams up and the trip is open to all club members as we look to win back the pre-season trophy. Accommodation has been reserved at the Apple Lodge (as in previous years) and transport will be in the form of two self drive vans with trailers. Cost to participate in the trip (including transport and accommodation) is $125. Anyone interested can contact Clinton Butler. If you have your own transport or accommodation, prices will be adjusted accordingly. Full payment is required by the 16th of September.

Trivia Corner:

Johnny Briggs (England), and Wasim Akram and Abdul Razzaq (of Pakistan) are three of only four players to have taken a hat-trick and scored a century in tests. The fourth person to do so was a New Zealander. Who is he?

***

Pakistan Cricket is currently in the news for all the wrong reasons. Did you know they first toured New Zealand in 1964/5 playing 12 matches and going through the tour undefeated despite struggling with the foreign conditions. All 3 tests were drawn .Richard Collinge the Wellington left arm quick became New Zealands third youngest debutant and dismissed the Pakistan “little master” Hanif Mohammad in 5 of his six innings finshing with 15 wickets at 17.

***

October 2003 was the first time in tests that the first three New Zealand Batsmen scored centuries in the same innings.  Richardson, Vincent and Styris – there was also a fourth century in that innings – who scored it?
