Auckland and Canterbury’s totals were their highest against each other in One Day matches
The match aggregate of 664 is second only to the 781 scored in the Canterbury v Otago match at Timaru last season and the highest in a Final eclipsing the 621 scored in the Auckland v Otago Final in 2007-08
Lou Vincent’s innings of 153 is the 2nd highest in a Final behind Brendon McCullum’s 170 for Otago v Auckland in the 2007-08 Final
There was a sense of déjà vu as Rob Nicol and Dean Brownlie added 136 for the 3rd wicket – this was exactly the same as they added for the 3rd wicket in the Semi-final a week earlier
The 6 run margin of victory was the 3rd closest in a Final after the 2 run win by Canterbury over Auckland in 1999-00 and the 3 run win by Canterbury over Wellington in 1991-92
136 run partnerships were the flavour of the day as Lou Vincent and Greg Todd added 136 for Auckland’s 4th wicket
Colin de Grandhomme as caught off the last ball of Auckland’s 47th over only for a no ball to be called for too many players outside the circle. They can 2 off this ball and de Grandhomme hit the extra ball for 6. In all he scored an extra 23 runs off 8 balls, a costly error by Canterbury

Rob Nicol’s season aggregate of 648 is 2nd only to the 687 scored by Nathan Astle in 1995-96
He scored 5 consecutive innings of 50 or more during the season to equal the New Zealand record in One Day matches
He became just the 4th player to score a century and take 4 wickets in the same match when scoring 105 and taking 4-51 against CD at New Plymouth
He is just the 9th player to score 300 or more runs and take 15 or more wickets in a season. Using a formula of runs x wickets he has a tally of 9,720 putting him well ahead of the next best, Justin Vaughan who scored 378 runs and took 19 wickets for Auckland in the 1994-95 season, for a tally of 7,182

Lou Vincent’s tally of 642 runs for the season leaves him 3rd on the all time record behind Astle and Nicol
He is just the 2nd player after Ross Taylor in 2005-06 to score 3 centuries in a season
He is the first player to score more than one innings of 150 or more in New Zealand One Day cricket
He has now score 985 runs for Auckland against Canterbury (including 374 in 3 innings this season) so is poised to become just the 3rd player to have scored 1,000 runs for one association against another after Mathew Sinclair (1,164 CD v C) and James Marshall (1,051 ND v C)
He equaled Matt Horne’s record of 4 consecutive scores of 50 or more for Auckland when he finished the season with innings of 112 v W, 62 v C, 66 v O and 153 v C and is poised to equal the New Zealand record of 5 consecutive half-centuries
In contrast to his efforts against Canterbury the 66 he scored against Otago in the Semi-final was his first half-century against them in his 17th innings
