Haidee Tiffen was acknowledged as one of the best allrounders in the world. She made her debut for the White Ferns at the age of 19 against the visiting South African side in 1998-99, and further improved her cricket that winter at the New Zealand Cricket Academy intake. She also played domestic cricket in England.
Batting in the middle order, Tiffen typically built her innings by mixing outright attack with efficient run-accumulation. As a change bowler, she was a consistent performer, achieving good line and length at a lively medium-pace. Her running between the wickets was legendary, as was her skill in the field.
In 2006 she was one of the seven players to be shortlisted for the ICC's Women's Player of the Year Award, which was eventually won by Karen Rolton.
After being part of New Zealand's victorious World Cup campaign on home soil in 2000, Tiffen led her side to the 2009 final in Australia, where New Zealand lost to England by four wickets. She starred with the bat in the Super Six match against Pakistan, scoring her first century, to help her team win by 223 runs. She ended the tournament as the second highest run-scorer with 279 from six matches at 46.50. Tiffen announced her decision to retire from international cricket soon after the World Cup, saying it was the right time to move on to other aspects of her life.
She teaches physical education at Hillmorton High School, in Christchurch.
Although she played representative hockey and rugby, cricket is her passion. She was one of the first intake in the female academy in Lincoln and played two winters for Sussex.
The 2008 Aoraki Secondary Schools Captains Day was held on Friday 6th June at the South Canterbury Finance Tennis Centre.
Hosted in the beautiful environs of the S.C.Finance Tennis Centre in excess of 30 captains from various sporting codes and schools attended the Forum.
Guest of honour was local sporting identity, Kate McFarlane, (currently player coach of Harlequins Premier Netball Team) whose main sporting passion has been and still is Netball. Kate having captained numerous Craighead Diocesan and age group rep teams through the years along with Otago and New Zealand development squads as well. Highlights for Kate were being involved in training clinics with the top players like Adine Wilson, Bellinda Colling & Leslie Rumble and National Silver Ferns Coaches of the calibre of Lois Muir , Leigh Gibbs and also Georgina Salter and Rob Nicholson.
Kate was able to highlight the “natural qualities & attributes” captains tend to have and emphasised “communication” as a critical component of good captains, particularly the ability to be exceptionally good listeners and non judgemental. Establishing a good relationship with the coach and leading by example both on and off the court (or any playing arena) eg taking skills drills, getting players warmed up properly, assisting with gear, engaging players quietly over issues, keeping coaches fully briefed to name a few.
Kate shared some delightful wee sporting sayings which implicate how captains might interact with players;
Some players are like: “ like wheel barrows….not good unless pushed!”
“ like kites. ..if you don’t keep strings on them they might fly away
“ like rugby balls….can’t tell which way they’ll bounce next.”
Kate emphasized the need to ask players for “ little bit more” as being critical.
The young captains were also involved in inter-active group activities where they had to prioritise qualities and attributes which showed it’s perfectly okay to have a blend in any order as ranking was not necessarily as important as simply having those abilities. ( inter acting with officials, being organised, accepting responsibility, being punctual, setting a good example, understanding and how to react to Body Language, non public interventions, learning how to delegate jobs (eg set cones out, fill water bottles) values like respect, sportsmanship, inclusiveness and support, pride in presentation, uniform etc) Conversely some negative qualities were quickly cast aside as being counter-productive.
Informal question time from the floor evoked several quality discussions especially when related to ‘social dislocations between players in a team” or “players seemingly not focussed and involved to the extent they could be”.
Anecdotal stories from the R.S.D.’s long involvement in sport relating to captaincy also complimented and reinforced concepts through out the forum. Especially the use of “reverse psychology” in getting the best out of players who react & respond differently when being called upon for additional effort. ( As in the apple exercise….players are all similar but have their own uniqueness and differences that may need careful handling.)
The ease and willingness for the group to informally interact and engage in sporting discussions was obvious by the “energy” generated. All Captains left with full stomachs, a heightened awareness of the Captaincy Role and a Sport Canterbury publication “ On Being A Captain…..Roles & Responsibilities.”
