Watch Western Province Cricket Club all-rounder Michael Rippon receive his Otago Volts cap, ahead of Wednesday’s debut against Northern Districts at the Cobham Oval in Whangarei.
Left-arm wrist spinner Rippon clinched fine figures of three for 36, including the important dismissal of New Zealand big-hitter Corey Anderson, in 10 overs.
The right-handed Rippon later opened the batting – and fell for a two-ball duck, as Otago slipped to a 125-run defeat in the key Ford Trophy fixture.
