Is Macca a twilight cricket superstar?

Here is what is wrong and yet, oddly, what is so fascinating and enthralling about NZ cricket - "...with Parlane especially severe on the Otago attack. He smacked 13 four's in his 57 before Bradley Scott bowled him." What's that all about then? He made his 50 off 75 balls...He only ran the length of the pitch five times! But then he is a tubby old Parlane...

I guess that's what you can love about cricket, even the fatties get a chance. Look at Inzamam ul Haq, Arjuna Ranatunga, WG Grace even...a game for all shapes and sizes - what about Bruce Reid?! Adam Gilchrist's ears.

I still think if Macca set his mind to it, he could be NZ's most devastating wood chopper. He's got the technique already...
