Luke Ronchi to NZ

Mike5181 · 15-02-2012, 11:48 PM

WA has confirmed wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi will quit the Warriors and will head to New Zealand in an attempt to resurrect his international career.

Rumours surfaced this afternoon that Ronchi had advised his teammates of his plans at training this morning.

A spokesperson from the Warriors confirmed to PerthNow that the 30-year-old would walk away from the team and return to New Zealand, where he was born, to further his career.

The spokesperson refused to expand on the issue, with the Warriors expected to release an official statement this afternoon.

Ronchi, 30, has played 58 first-class matches and 86 one-dayers for WA.

A bit late....

Epic. Will be be their best wicket-keeper, batsman, bowler, etc.

KiWiNiNjA · 16-02-2012, 12:13 AM

I wonder which province he will select. He was born in Dannevirke (CD).

Auckland - Dropkins/B. Cachopa
ND - McGlashan/Watling
CD - van Wyk
Wellington - Austin-Smellie
Canterbury - Young/Latham
Otago - McCullum/de Boorder

Thoughts?

Otara 2nd XI for mine

If I was him I'd move to Wellington and try and get into the Wellington side.

I can't see him playing for NZ though.

He will play for Wellington. He's Australian.

Wellington with Siddons perhaps? They've had plenty of Aussies up there in recent years.

Edit: Heath too fast. No surprise there

If he thinks it will be a stroll in the park, he should think again. In terms of potential & competition for places, NZ cricket is looking more competitive than it has for some time. He'll need to displace Watling & van Wyk for starters.

This guy, I like.

KiWiNiNjA · 16-02-2012, 12:28 AM

A pecking order of:

McCullum
Watling
van Wyk
de Boorder
McGlashan
....
....
....
....
Ronchi
Dropkins
Young

?

I have moved Dropkins/Young to the end of the queue. Has anybody seen Latham's keeping?

A mate of mine swears he's as silky a moving behind the stumps as McCullum was at his best.

Yes, but only in a 20:20 when Reece Young picked up an injury. Wasn't impressed, but he probably wasn't prepared for it.
