North Island cricket team
The North Island cricket team is a representative cricket team based in New Zealand. They have played intermittently in first-class and List A cricket since 1894. They have most frequently played against the South Island cricket team, but have also played first-class matches against touring national sides.[1] In the 1981–82, 1993–94 and 1994–95 seasons, they faced South Island in one-day matches billed as the "Plunket Shield", while similar contests in 2003–04 and 2004–05 were named the "State of Origin" matches.[2]
North Island v South Island
The first-class matches between North Island and South Island have often been used to help the national selectors choose teams for forthcoming tours or Test series. South Island won the first match between the two teams in 1903-04, by two wickets.[3] North Island won the most recent first-class match in 1999-2000 by 32 runs.[4]
In all, the two teams have played each other 12 times in first-class matches. North Island have won six times, South Island four times, and two matches have been drawn. The highest score for North Island is 208 not out by Bert Sutcliffe in 1947-48, and the best innings and match bowling figures are 5 for 37 and 10 for 101 by Bob Blair in 1957-58.
In their five List A matches, North Island have won four times, South Island once.
