The Super Smash might have an uncertain future but the Sparks seem keen to go out with a bang. Otago yesterday announced the signings of two overseas players for what could be the last domestic T20 season as we know it if New Zealand Cricket decides to let overseas interests take over. Veteran Australian top-order batter Laura Harris and English medium-pacer Eva Gray are expected to make their first appearances for the Sparks when they play Canterbury in Alexandra tomorrow. The elder Harris is known for her clean ball-striking and ability to apply pressure from the outset, and those attributes and her experience should be vital for a Sparks team missing some big guns. The Sparks play the Canterbury Magicians at Molyneux Park tomorrow, and remain in Alexandra to play the Central Hinds on Tuesday.
