Well I hope they go on to represent NZ.

In another ten years 40% of the cricket players in new zealand will be Indian. In our grade we had two all Indian teams and each of the other teams had at least 2-3 Indian members.

Have Wellington given up on Andy McKay then?

He fell from grace pretty fast.

Off-spinner Jeetan Patel, once again showing a new lease of life in England with 15 wickets from his last two county matches for Warwickshire, moved up to No 5 in Ryder's absence.
Bitch please, it's the pitches.

Making a guy with a career average of 40 for Wgtn our No. 5. They better damn hope groundsmen follow through with what Wiseman wants.

Like Boam, Walsh to end up batting around 8 or 9 behind the more senior bits and pieces all rounders.
No issues with that actually, not a bad intro for a young guy in fact - as long as that isn't still the case 4 years later!
Surely 6 would be the place to start. I am not sure he will develop much from the 8 spot.

Strangely I am looking forward to the HRV cup.
Haha Kippax AWTA, it's weird. The final two weeks with the NZ players back, Ryder-Rutherford-McCullum assuming a sort of Yankees level of national ire, hopefully flopping against Mills, Mitch and Guptill in the final.

Yeah, I started that post as a whine, as in Boam so often being well out of the top 6 when selected. Then midway through typing decided it wouldn't be the end of the world in your first game or couple of games, then referred back to Boam again with the "4 years later"

It was a tough couple years for a young allrounder in Wellington though to break in, with Franklin, Woodcock, Elliott, Ryder etc all offering the same thing but better. Can't argue with woodcocks numbers, I think Elliot had a bad year once though, but he was captain.

I'd see the path as being clearer for Walsh now, than for Boam 3 to 4 years ago

Boy Lonsdale and Johnston, didn't see that coming at all. Every MA has contracted a bowler worse than either of those two.

Lonsdale probably still has back injury?

Tim Johnston definitely worth investing in. Hope he is 14th for canty or drafted by one of the others. Not many finger spinners around the traps at the moment.
A few promising spinners in the U19s based on very brief glimpse in kippax's videos.

Lonsdale to ND? He was one of the better quicks going around not too long ago.
Otago could look at it if Soper was going to be their 14th. Otago really need batting cover tbf.

The three players most in the firing line are left-arm quick Willie Lonsdale who missed a big chunk of last season with injury.

He will be fit again this summer but slipped down the side's quick bowler rankings by not being able to play.

All-rounder Logan van Beek could miss out too.

He is a superb fielder and capable with bat and ball but has yet to really make the most of his opportunities at domestic level.

Because van Beek is more of a limited-overs specialist and the rankings are weighted heavily in favour of four-day cricket, he could struggle to make the top 13.

Off-spinner Tim Johnston is the other on the cusp.

With leg-spinner Todd Astle in the four-day side, and Hira and Nicol both short-form bowling options, the former under-19 New Zealand player could miss out.

The favourites in the race to come in are all-rounders Brent Findlay and Cole McConchie, and young quick Ed Nuttall.
