EspañolOTAGO VOLTS
(Redirected from Otago cricket team)
'The Otago Volts' are a first class cricket team representing the Otago Cricket Association, one of six major associations that make up New Zealand Cricket.
The Otago association was formed in Dunedin 1876 [1], almost 30 years after the first club games were played in the city. They adopted the 'Volts' name for the 1997-98 season[2], and their major sponsor is State Insurance Ltd. Otago currently competes in the State Championship first class competition, the State Shield domestic one day competition and the Twenty20 Cup.
Carisbrook and the University Oval have been used in Dunedin, with occasional matches in Invercargill (Queen's Park), and Oamaru (Centennial Park). Many matches have been played at Molyneaux Park in Alexandra in recent decades, particularly during the Christmas-New Year holiday season. The warm, dry summer climate of Central Otago can make for better cricketing conditions than the wetter coastal areas. In recent years the Queenstown Events Centre has been developed as a venue.
Otago have won a total of 13 first-class championship titles, winning the Plunket Shield (1906 - 1973) 8 times and the Shell Trophy (1974 - 1998) five times. they have yet to win the State Championship
