  • A World Record for the Stags!

    A World Record for the Stags!
    Mar 15 2026

    Every season, the Central Stags host a Hooked On Cricket day in conjunction with the NZ Cricket Players' Association that helps give hundreds of primary school kids - many completely new to cricket - the chance to enjoy a fun day playing with their classmates and the current players. So if this episode sounds a bit like it's in a school at interval time, you're not wrong! In our own last game, we had an amazing moment with our pace attack leader Brett Randell taking five wickets in five balls in a first-class match - something that has never been done before in 254 years of first-class cricket and a story that quickly went global. We chat through what that was like, to be on the field with Brett with that unfolding, as well as mulling the top performers in the recent BLACKCAPS v India T20 World Cup Final which none of us managed to successfully predict in the previous episode! The lads also talk about winning our recent Ford Trophy national one-day title; rugby league (up the Wahs); the meaning of shirt numbers and what our post-season plans are looking like. BRAD SCHMULIAN hosting the pod again this week, thank you Schmoo and WILL CLARK along for the ride with DANE CLEAVER, DEAN FOXCROFT, JAYDEN LENNOX, CURTIS HEAPHY, RAY TOOLE and TOBY '6/7' FINDLAY. Thanks to the Devon Hotel, always our favourite place to stay when we're in New Plymouth.

    The LOVE THE STAGS podcast is back again, after we completely forgot to upload our audio files here last summer (video pods on our facebook and youtube - soz subscribers!) As always we're completely unpredictable and so there's a brand new twist as we get back behind the mic this season with BRAD SCHMULIAN leading a topical Q&A session with CURTIS HEAPHY, RAY TOOLE & TOBY FINDLAY in the midst of our Ford Trophy campaign in Nelson that coincides with other key events like the Winter Olympics, ICC men's T20 World Cup and the mighty Hawke Cup. We started with straight faces and we don't end that way - enjoy

    The episode in which we find out who in the Central Stags squad is a bat-thrower, and the special role behind the scenes that JAYDEN LENNOX puts in for the team. Featuring podmaster AJAZ PATEL with guests BAYLEY WIGGINS, CURTIS HEAPHY and JAYDEN LENNOX himself so the two spinners can get nuffy. Our thanks as always to longtime Central Stags sponsor The Devon Hotel, the only place to stay when you're in New Plymouth! #LOVETHESTAGS

    OMG, the Central Stags are back on the airwaves
    Dec 5 2023
    Two Manawatū Stags v two Hawke's Bay Stags in this episode, what could go wrong? With AJAZ PATEL too busy taking Test wickets in Bangladesh and SETH RANCE doing God knows what in Wairarapa, it's a Love The Stags Podmaster debut for Will (Bill the Bison) Clark who actually does quite a good job. We find out more about Hawke's Bay bringing the Hawke Cup home to CD; and Curtis and Bill scoring their maiden one-day half tons together last week in The Ford Trophy. Why is Will-Bill Clark nicnamed The Bison? This burning question is addressed and we get onto the Dream11 Super Smash coming up soon in Palmy, New Plymouth and Napier too which we are all flipping excited about, as well as this Thursday's FREE Ford Trophy match at Pukekura Park in New Plymouth too. Thank you to the team at The Devon Hotel, always our fave place to stay in New Plymouth, and longtime supporters of the Stags and Hinds and CD Cricket. You're the best. #LOVETHESTAGS
