He thus equalled his performance during the 1981/82 season when he also took 45 wickets for the South Island side but at a slightly higher cost. Six times in eight Trophy games during the 1986/87 season Hadlee took five wickets in an innings but with little support from the other bowlers, and with a fragile batting line-up, too dependant on John Wright, Canterbury won 62
