The Wellington Firebirds remain joint leaders of domestic cricket's Plunket Shield with Northern Districts after the two sides played out a draw at the Basin Reserve this week.

A highlight from a Wellington perspective was Nathan Smith clinching his fifth first-class bag, taking five wickets for 67 runs in Northern Districts' first innings.

Smith now has 19 wickets to his name this season, after recovering from back surgery in the off-season.

He joined Adam Cooper to talk about the season so far, and give his thoughts on his Wellington teammate Rachin Ravindra's heroics at the Cricket World Cup.
