Hamish Rutherford will be Otago Volts captain for Wednesday evening's T20 match against the Northern Knights at the University of Otago Oval.
What was the best birthday present you ever received, and why?
For my 21st, I was given a bottle of whisky from the Dunedin Distillery. It was barrelled in1989 (my birth year). I haven't opened it yet - saving it for a rainy day.
What smell do you find irresistible?
Freshly ground coffee beans. I'm a big fan of the different single origins on offer at Common Ground Coffee at the moment.
What is your least favourite thing about humanity?
Greed and selfishness. I think it is so important that people consider everything around themand try to see the bigger picture.
What is one strong childhood memory?
I still remember sitting under those willow trees on Molyneux Park, watching Otago play, and dreaming that one day I could be out there. I'm extremely lucky to be able to do just that today and it's even better when we get to go back to Alexandra for a New Year's fixture.
What is your message?
Nec sorte nec fato (Neither by chance nor fate).
