[1999-2000 Season] The name of Gavin Larsen is synonymous with one-day internationals in New Zealand having played 121 matches and been a part of three consecutive World Cup teams. 'The Postman' (he always delivers) has built a reputation as a miserly one-day bowler regularly conceding the least runs per over. Larsen played in eight 1999 World Cup games taking six wickets and having the best economy rate of the New Zealand bowlers with 3.46 rpo. However in the past two seasons opposition batsmen have targeted Larsen, charging down the wicket in a bid to counter his accurate medium-paced deliveries. His RPO has slipped a little but the counter balance has been more wickets. At 37 years of age Larsen is one of only a dozen players in their '30s in the New Zealand game. To the disappointment of many New Zealand supporters he announced his retirement in October, 1999.
