The Halifax Cricket League returned at the weekend THE biggest shock of the day in the Premier Division came at SBCI where the home team caught Booth completely off guard, surely not concentrating on Sunday’s T20 Finals Day? Thomas Wood (74) and Lewis Firth (49) were the main contributors to a SBCI 45-over score of 197-9 with as Moazzam Ayub was unusually expensive with 4-66. What followed will have been celebrated just as much at Grassy Bottom, as it was at The Astleys. Somehow Booth simply capitulated to leave it a massive 23 points adrift at the top. Full credit goes to four SBCI bowlers responsible for the strangest looking scorecard of the season, or several seasons. The detail is worth noting: Hashim Wajid 77, Extras 11, Ten other batsmen scoring just 33, as Rishav Tandon took 4-11 and SBCI on this form could well escape the bottom two. Funny game.

It now owns close to 46,000 ha, and manages another 44,000 ha on behalf of farmers and other landowners, giving it control of some 90,000 ha. If nothing else had changed since 2019, its land holdings would place it fifth on RNZ’s list, excluding land it manages for others. Yet few people have heard of the company, which has deliberately flown under the radar until recently. Its business model is intriguing. First, it finds marginal or unprofitable farmland, then buys it or partners with the landowner. Second, it plants a cover crop – usually pine. The pine trees aren’t for harvest. They’re to supply a carbon-rich nurse crop, allowing native forest to regenerate underneath them.
