Jamal Todd simply doesn't make sense for me to be retained in the #OtagoVolts first class side. He's not performing and just doesn't seem to be ready for playing at this level.
Looking forward to seeing the #OtagoVolts play in Christchurch tonight. Jamal Todd needs to impress me. I've been underwhelmed when his performances so far.
Will be exciting to see the #OtagoSparks in action for a night game too!
Comfortable that I've made the right call to stay in Dunedin for today's #OtagoVolts game.
Terrific win earlier this afternoon for the #OtagoSparks but that rain settling in validates my not making the huge road trip up and back to Alexandra.

NATHAN SMITH!!!

Bloody hated him last season when he destroyed the #OtagoVolts in one of their worst T20 defeats in recent memory, but this is an absolutely fantastic debut performance from the Wellingtonian. #NZvENG

Yus! Got my #OtagoVolts #OtagoSparks season membership for me and #Cricket Son. All provincial games are approved as annual leave too.
Whoa, Dean Foxcroft has vacated the #OtagoVolts captaincy.
I don't think that's actually a bad call. Good on him. Must've been a difficult decision. Wonder who they'll want to put in the role instead. đŸ€”
My picks (in no order):
Max Chu
Leo Carter (transfer from Canterbury)
Jacob Duffy
Very exciting finish from the #OtagoVolts to finish on 171/5. Some big hitting from Dale Phillips and Max Chu, who needed a good innings after recent performances.
Jesus. #OtagoVolts being absolutely taken apart by the Wellington Firebirds here. 16/5 after 5. #Cricket

Nooo! Not Ripper!
Not going to be the same Volts side without seeing him in the mix. Real shame to hear he's leaving.
