A great stand

I have been following Northern Districts fortunes in the first-class competetion over the last couple of days via the New Zealand Cricket website. When the scored slumped to 38/5 against Central Districts' clutch of deadly dull seamers I almost switched off. Especially as journeymen Mark Orchard and Jospeh Yovich were at the crease. But the journeymen did good. In fact, the journeymen did bloody brilliant - taking the score through to a staggering 360 before being parted. A partnership of 322 after coming together at 38/5, has there ever been a more impressive recovery? No wonder Orchard is tired.
