First of all, my computer malfunctioned so the file was not kept on my Leicestershire save, so very sorry for that.
For the next story, and one that will most likely last a while I am going to rebuild Otago, a team in the New Zealand domestic competition.
Otago Volts have not won the Plunket Shield (the first class comp) in the time that I have been alive. That is quite a while. They have been victors in both the Ford Trophy (one day comp) and Super Smash (t20 comp) twice, but their last final win was in 2013.
So a brief overview of the competitions, the Plunket Shield has each team play 8 matches, and whoever is on top of the table after 8 matches wins. The Ford Trophy is a double round robin, and after each team has played their 10 matches the top 2 will face off in a final. The Super Smash also has a double round robin, but the top 3 make finals. First place goes straight through to the final while 2nd and 3rd face off in a playoff, the winner advancing into the final.
