Appreciation post for Tom Abercrombie, who tonight goes past Mika Vukona as the most capped Breaker with 355 games.
Has been an exceptional player for a long time, should break the 400 mark before he hangs up the boots. Hopefully the team can cause an upset tonight against United.

Congratulations to TA.
Great player.
Will be happy to see his jersey retired and hanging in the sheep shed.
You love to see the local talent reach the milestones. Been and still is a great player for the Breakers. Hope he had a good game tonight

That may be so but it still isn't a correct NBL/basketball term.
Absolutely great player, congratulations on all achieved.

"Capped" is a bit of a common term used in NZ for games generally; its that Rugby influence coming into play.

It's a British term used for the number of times a player has represented their country (not club) in soccer, rugby and cricket.

A cricket term originally for the caps they would wear when fielding.
