The Plunket Shield match between Auckland and Wellington at Basin Reserve saw all the three Cachopa brothers take the field for the Auckland side. Their last name resembles ‘catch’ and the brothers – Carl, Craig and Brad, all born in South Africa, caught nine among them in the match’s first innings!
The match that began on December 14 saw Wellington bat first. Carl, Craig and Brad caught nine catches among them and this forms a bizarre scoreboard with Cachopa’s ruling it.
Brad, 26, is a wicket-keeper and took five catches, while Craig and Carl ended with three and one respectively. In fact Carl, 28, picked up two wickets as well. Wellington was caught by the Cachopas for 199. Later, Auckland won the match by six wickets.
