POWER HITTING MASTERCLASS

Wellington School of Cricket is thrilled to announce that Tim Robinson, current Blackcap and Firebird, will be leading a Power Hitting Masterclass during the July school holdiays. 

Tim made his T20I and ODI debuts for the Blackcaps in 2024 after a few successful seasons contracted with the Wellington Firebirds. His power hitting prowess saw him being selected in the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League as well. In the New Zealand domestic T20 circuit, one of Tim's most notable innings saw him score 139 of 64 balls. Striking at 217.2, he blasted 10 sixes and 10 fours on his way to the second highest T20 score in the Super Smash. Renowned for his explosiveness at the top of the order, WSC is very privileged to have Tim sharing his expertise with our region's youth cricketers.
