The left-arm seamer transferred to Northern Districts this season and, as fate would have it, the draw pitted his new side up against his old team at his old home ground.
During the many rain breaks that dogged the match, Scott could been seen strolling around sheepishly in a sort of no-man's land between the players' viewing areas.
If he was seen mixing with the opposition, his Northern team-mates would remind him, with good-natured jibes, where his loyalties should belong. But the former Green Island stalwart found it hard not to mingle with his mates.
And with a good percentage of his family in the grandstand, Scott said he still felt anchored to the region.
"It certainly wasn't a cricketing decision to move," he said.
"Family came first in that respect. Jennie [his wife] and I have a house up there now and we're settling a bit for the time being."
Jennie, who in two months is expecting the couple's first child, moved to Hamilton for a teaching job last season. Scott remained with Otago but made the decision to transfer to Northern Districts this summer.
With both future sets of grandparents living in Dunedin, Scott foresees a time when the couple will return.
"It's been quite cool to come off the field when we've had rain breaks and my brother has been there with two of my nephews. Mum has been in the stand and my in-laws have been here when they can."
Scott said Northern Districts and Otago had similar cultures, which had made the move smooth.
The teams played hard on the field but were relaxed off it.
"When I first came into the Otago cricket team we had the reputation of being the nice guys of cricket . . . but they've tried to turn that around and certainly play a lot harder on the field."
There was quite a lot of sledging during the game, with both sides trying to get the upper hand. It was also frustrating with rain robbing the game of momentum. With Scott and Ian Butler having swapped places, it made for some interesting by-play.
Butler, who transferred to Otago from Northern, had the better of the match, picking up four wickets for 78 runs and scoring a valuable 37 not out.
Scott bowled well but went wicketless. In Northern's first innings he was bowled by Nathan McCullum for 29.
"Nath's up 1-0 so I would have liked to have got him," Scott said. Scott is a wholehearted cricketer and a change of home has not dampened his competitive spirit.
"I still want to go out there and do as well as I can for whoever I'm playing for."
Northern looked to have assembled a group of young players with a bright future.
The likes of middle-order batsman Kane Williamson and opening bowler Trent Boult had the goods, he said.
And when Black Caps Tim Southee, Daniel Flynn and Daniel Vettori return from national duty, Northern will have a formidable line-up.
