Fair to say that cokehead Dermot Reeve ruined his career. He was odds on to make the England tour in 2008 but from memory we went with Redmond, How, James Marshall and Flynn (not one test century between those 4!) I thought at the time he would have been picked ahead of Redmond and Marshall.
I remember it being one of the great mysteries in domestic cricket as to why he lost his prime years from 2009-2013 and now we know why.
If he hadn't been chucked to the dogs, he most likely would have been given a go in there, especially with some of the guys we had around the scene in thouse 4 years. We were a terrible outfit back then.
Sorry, don't get the reference.
Dermot Reeve was one of a long line of failed “next Bothams” if I remember rightly. ( with all due respect to decent players like Andrew Flintoff and Ben Stokes they still never found one )
A fairly controversial figure off the field according to wiki.
( not as much as another FB in Chris Lewis though, crikey )
Yeah, know who Reeve is/was. Not sure the relevance to Marshall, How, Flynn.

Ok.
Well as usual I can’t help in a meaningful way so you might have to go elsewhere.

@booboo Reeve was the CD coach for a couple of years:
Dermot Reeve, the Central Districts' coach, has ended his tenure after two years at the helm in order to be close to his family in Sydney.
"I would like to be with Central Districts, ideally, but for me to fulfill a full-time role with any association will not be possible due to family commitments," the former England allrounder said.
Reeve led Central Districts to the Plunket Shield four-day final in 2008-09 before winning this season's Twenty20 competition, but his association with the side has been dogged by controversy in recent times.
Reports of disharmony between the players and Reeve plagued the early stages of Central's Twenty20 campaign in January. He injured his foot in the same month, which curtailed his involvement with the team as he recuperated in Sydney. After watching his side win the Twenty20 competition, he went back to Australia before returning to New Zealand for Central's final four-day match against Northern Districts in Napier last week.
Reeve was also censured and fined by New Zealand Cricket after accusing Auckland's Ravi Bopara of ball-tampering, after a one-day game in December.

An absolute joke of a performance by Otago in the Super Smash. 30-8 in the 9th over

He is right though. Just bloody embrassing

Population and funding starting to show through for both Volts and Highlanders unfortunately. They've won the comp twice, which is a bloody good effort, but the current crop don't look good

It's no fun supporting the Volts.

@SouthernMann bloody delightful watching that performance. Firebirds continue to break records this season.

Plenty of talent have come out of the province. We screwed around Mike Bracewell. Nathan Smith is a good Otago lad who fled for opportunities. Mike Rae left for Canterbury. Same with Rippon. Decent players, no continuity

Yeah really shithouse aye. There are good players there. A fair bit of potential, just no one to string it together

It's going to be embarrassing if we lose.

It’s ok, Henry Nicholls is at home, we’ll be fine

Here’s one stat I found quite amazing.
NZ have NEVER beaten SA in a test series.
As in never, ever, EVER !
We’ve beaten everyone else at least once ( apart from teams like Ireland and Afghanistan due to not playing them )
12 series since readmission, first in 94/95. You’d think we might have snuck a couple at least. Five series prior to that, probably no surprise they cleaned us up in those days ( although an impressive 2-2 draw from 61/62 was a great effort )
If only Hadlee got a chance to hurl some immaculate line and length and seam movement at them back in the 80s…..sigh.
-
@MN5 We'll never know how good SA would have been if they weren't banned from international cricket in the 70s/80s. Some great players during that period who never got to play international cricket.

Absolutely, this guy would have definitely made it five great all rounders of the 80s

Excellent bowling average but not a huge amount of wickets for the amount of matches.
Probably a better bat than Imran, Beefy, Kapil or Paddles though. The latter spoke really highly of him in his book.
