OTAGO A 2009/10
Otago A outplayed Canterbury A in their fixtures at Sunnyvale (Dunedin) in November 2009. Both teams featured a number of players with first-class experience.
Highlights of Otago’s first innings win in the two-day fixture included the innings of 87 by Darren Broom for Otago A against his old team mates, and the bowling of Anthony Bullick and Craig Smith who are pushing for a return to first class play.
In the one day (50 over game a strong opening stand by the very promising youngsters Hamish Rutherford (24) and Michael Bracewell (39) paved the way for a 28 run win in a low scoring game on a wearing wicket. Left armer Smith again impressed with the ball
Two day game: Canterbury A 171 (C Frauenstein 52; A Bullick four for 37, Craig Smith two for 27, J. Fuller two for 30) and 65 for six (Smith four for 10) lost to Otago A 263 (D Broom 87, H. Rutherford 46, J. Sheed 35, A. Bullick 31;M.Kain five for 54) on the first innings.
One day (50 0ver) match: Otago A 157 (M.Bracewell 39, H.Rutherford 24, A.Harris 24, B. Domigan 22; Kain three for 22, B. McCord four for 24) beat Canterbury A 129 (Smith four for 29, R. Phillips two for 14, A. Bullick two for 30) by 28 runs.
