On Wednesday morning, a star-studded lineup of former New Zealand cricketers will come out of retirement and take on many of their old adversaries in India.
The New Zealand legends team is one of eight nations competing for old man's glory while promoting road safety awareness.
And while these competitive old timers might not admit it, they're all out to win.
"I'm not too bothered," former fast bowler Shane Bond told Newshub. "Just looking forward to catching up with everyone."
Meanwhile, ex-Blackcaps batter Dean Brownlie's motivation is revenge.
"Should be fun taking on some of the guys who gave me nightmares over the years," he said.
All-rounder Anton Devcich is more realistic
"I'm not holding high hopes for any of us to be fair," he joked.
Jacob Oram is slightly delusional.
"We'll be fine," he said. "We've got a good team, good squad."
On paper, they certainly have an eclectic mix of the recently retired, and the antiquated. Of the 15-man squad, 10 are now over 40 - and fragile.
New Zealand are the newcomers to India's Road Safety Series, and judging by last year's standard, it's no hit and giggle.
While their sights are failing and their bodies are ailing, age has not tempered their competitive nature. And some are beefed up and ready to take down the Proteas in game one.
"I've heard [Bond's] been doing a lot of weight training," added Devcich. "So hopefully
he can get it up around that 140km/h mark and swing it - like the good old days."
But the good old days were riddled with injury. So with five games to survive who will go down first?
"That will be me," joked Bond. "Followed very closely by Oram and [Scott] Styris."
"A few of us are a bit sore these days," added Kyle Mills. "So [we've] got lots of Voltaren, got lots of those to share around the guys."
A much younger Devcich doesn't need painkillers - just ear muffs.
"Kyle Mills can be quite annoying at times, always has an answer for everything," he said.
While Bond is holding out little hope for his old partners in crime.
"Styris and [Craig] McMillan [have been] in the commentary box, talking a lot of drivel.
"I'd expect them to be quite poor."
Thank goodness for skipper Ross Taylor, who's still familiar with that winning feeling.
