Taylor's power, his hitting technique, Greatbatch reckons, could have come from Kilikiti, the Samoan version of cricket. Kilikiti is played with a heavy rubber ball and a long three-sided bat, which makes it difficult to predict the direction of the hits. Taylor's mother was from Samoa.

There wasn't much cricket in Wairarapa though, and Taylor had to be taken away to Palmerston North where he studied in boarding school, whose headmaster had been there from Greatbatch's time. But his parents were not really well to do. "We had to find money for him to board at the school," Greatbatch says. "Money for his lodging and stuff. He had the money to go to school, but other things cost money. Myself, CD and some people around here used to do raffles for him."

Ryder, too, was spotted early by Greatbatch, during a club match. "I watched him get 260-odd when he was playing second-grade club cricket," Greatbatch says. "He was a boy playing like a man. Very skilful, but quite wild, and it is great to see him play at the highest level. This kid can be world class. You can see how at ease he is. He belongs there."

Ryder though, didn't have parents who were as supportive as Taylor's, who took five minutes to decide in favour of Ross going to a good school and playing cricket. The Ryder family was a troubled unit, and Jesse had to be on his own all the way. He studied in Napier Boys High School, which is not too far from McLean Park.

Greatbatch's association with Ryder wasn't a long one, but he thought it was perhaps best for Ryder to move on. "His talent is quite good but there were other things too," says Greatbatch. "So I told him he needed to go to some other place to sort things out. I didn't sack him but he made the decision. That was the best things that could have done. He went to live in Wellington, and played for them."

After just six matches together at the first-class level, Ryder moved to Wellington. But they would soon be reunited at Test level. Greatbatch had foreseen that long ago. Perhaps he had seen that during one of their big partnerships at Nelson Park.

"It is a lovely feeling to watch them play together," Greatbatch said. "When I first saw them, I thought that they will both play for New Zealand. They were pretty talented though that doesn't always get you there. You know - in different ways - they have got there."
