Todd had only two first-class hundreds from 30 matches heading into this week's game. He promptly doubled his tally and in doing so became the first Otago batsman in 23 years to score a century in each innings of a first-class match. Not bad for a man who missed most of 2005-06 after a freak fielding accident broke his shin and ankle and ripped tendons in his leg. Todd says the incident has helped his concentration and it certainly worked as he posted 110 and 165 this week, although unfortunately for Otago his efforts went unrewarded in their draw with Wellington.
