Masterclass in batting leads Otago BHS to qualify for National Finals

Picture Caption for photo below: Otago Boys’ High School 1st XI: Top (from left) Max Chu, Jack Pryde, Joe Turner, Jarryd Taig, Gus Wood, Taine Bayly, Ken Rust (Coach) Bottom (from left) Tim Horton, Ben Lockrose, Jackson Miller, Cameron McAuslan, Declan Su’a, Hunter Kindley.

In beating Waitaki Boys' High School by 238 runs in the regional zone final of the NZ First XI Cup, Otago Boys’ High School qualified for the New Zealand Finals for the fifth time in the last six years. This will be played in December at Lincoln.

Waitaki Boys’, captained by NZ Under 19 player Nathan Smith, won the toss and asked Otago Boys’ to bat first.

What followed was a masterclass in batting from opening batsman and Otago Under 19 player Cameron McAuslan, who took complete control of the game in scoring 156 runs.

Mixing power and timing with precision placement, McAuslan dominated all of the Waitaki bowlers in a record-establishing innings. Nathan Smith did however, not go home empty-handed picking up five wickets along the way.

McAuslan was ably supported by Hunter Kindley (44), Max Chu (41) and Jarryd Taig (39). The team’s final total of 345 is believed to be a record for a zone final in Otago and Southland.

Needing to score at a rate of almost seven an over was always going to be a very difficult task for Waitaki and so it proved. Wickets fell at regular intervals in the face of accurate bowling from Tim Horton (3/12) and Joe Turner (2/26). The bowlers were supported by excellent fielding and catching.

Waitaki Boys’ were dismissed for 107.

The day earlier Otago Boys’ beat Southland Boy’s High School for a finals berth, while Waitaki Boys’ beat John McGlashan College.

John McGlashan College beat Southland Boys’ in the play-off for third and fourth placing.

Nathan Smith – First Class In Otago

Picture
Nathan Smith is only 17, but he has already played First class cricket. The captain of the Waiktai Boys’ High School First XI recently appeared for Otago in the Plunket Shield and preformed extremely well dismissing two Black Caps. Additionally he was New Zealand’s best preformed bowler at the World Under-19 Championships in India. He took seven wickets in five matches at an average of 26.




When did you start playing Cricket?
I started playing cricket when I was four years old. My older brother who is three years older than me played so I guess I looked up to him as a youngster and wanted to do the things he did.


Tell us about your success at Waitaki BHS?
Waitaki’s season was a very good one. We won our senior club 50-over competition for the first time since 1967/68. We also made the final of the First XI Cup in our region (Otago/ Southland) for the first time in a long time. This year has been very positive as we haven’t been strong in recent times, but this season we’ve really peaked. We have great juniors coming through so hopefully they can continue the success.
My best batting for Waitaki is 168 not out in a junior Interschool against Timaru Boys’. For the First XI I haven’t managed a ton. My best score is 91 not out while my best bowling is 9-21 against Timaru Boys.’
Note: His remarkable haul included a double hat trick – four wickets in four balls .

Tell us about your call up for Otago, was it a surprise?
I got a phone call from the coach Nathan King a week before the penultimate round of the Plunket Shield. He said he wanted to involve me in the last two games of the season so I was 12th man for the Volts against the Central Stags in Dunedin on March 23rd. King then said I would travel to Whangarei and he would try his best to play me and fortunately the day of the game he gave me the nod just before warm ups.


Tell us about your First Class Debut?
My first class debut match, and so far only appearance for Otago, was against the Northern Knights at Cobham Oval, Whangarei. I got three runs with the bat which was disappointing, but took 3-80 off 27 overs with the ball. My first wicket was a full length ball that nipped back off the seam to trap Dean Brownlie (Black Cap) in front. My second wicket was Anton Devcich (Black Cap). I came round the wicket and he played across the line and he was hit in front as well. My third wicket was Daryl Mitchell, he inside edged a full ball onto his pad that ballooned up to gully for an easy catch.


Why was New Zealand not very successful at the Under-19 World Cup?
The conditions weren’t what we were used to. It was very spinner friendly and we struggled a lot to rotate the strike against good spin, this troubled us as we faced a lot of spin over there. We got better at playing spin as the World Cup progressed, but too little too late as they say.


Who have been the most important supporters for your cricket?
Family for sure, lots of support. Coaches for the technical and tactical support and My Waitaki Boys and North Otago Manager Hamish McMurdo for the help with the mental side of things, as cricket is a heavily impacted by your mind.


Note: Alimuddin is the youngest player to ever play first class cricket. He made his debut for Rajasthan aged only 12 years 73 days in 1942. Black Cap Corey Anderson debuted at 16 for Canterbury, while Jeff Wilson was in his teens when he first played for Otago.

HIBS To Defend National Cricket Crown

Picture
Hutt International Boys’ School have earned the right to defend their National Cricket title after defeating Wellington College by 45 runs in the Wellington final today.


HIBS batted first and reached 232/8 off their 50 overs at the Basin Reserve. New Zealand Under-19 rep Rachin Ravindra was in imperious form belting 112 off 111 deliverers. His innings included 16 boundaries, but he lacked support from his colleagues. The next highest scorer for HIBS was Adam Webster with a cautious 32. Connor Goggin and Joshua Peake each claimed three wickets for Wellington whose reply never threatened the HIBS total.
Wellington struggled to build consistent momentum and three run outs were the by product of HIBS pressure in the field. Matthew McComb was outstanding taking 2/23 off 10 overs and Ravindra also applied the squeeze taking 2-38 in nine overs. Wellington’s top scorer was Tim Campbell with 55.
The National Cricket Championships are in Christchurch in December.
