***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

[Immenso]

Mentioned earlier that they seemed quite a young bunch this time.

To get a good idea of how young this particular NZ U19 squad is, this page shows there current ages.

New Zealand Under-19s Squad | Tri-Nation Under-19s Tournament in United Arab Emirates, 2015/16 | Cricket Squads | ESPN Cricinfo

By my rough count, 7 of the 15 would be available if this tournament was theoretically being held a year later. 4 should still be available when the actual next tournament is held in 2 years time.

Are we all aboard the Rachin Ravindra hype train? choo choo

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Well, 12 year old Rachin was a deity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnUIIi5PmOc

The best thing to come out of the Hutt Valley since the L&P Bottle bong.

Surely a Wellingtonian isn't going to play a substantive batting role in another World Cup. Too much for Howsie to handle.

 

[Athlai]

Do you know how many young Wellington talents we had to sacrifice to cast the blood spell to bring us Ravindra?

We have the oldest man alive Brent Arnel walkingcaneheading our attack.

KW scored a U19 150 against England in a Youth Test in 2008.

another minnow bashing performance though so still doesn't count

Tbf I'm afraid of what will happen to him at Wellington. Can we send him to ND where batsmen seem to actually not get that ruined?

 

[Kippax]

Francis Payne confirms it. An U19 ODI hundred against a Test nation has never happened for us.

No, he's found one -

That does sound like Francis Payne.

This will happen. And i will hold you responsible.

 

[Flem274*]

I'm thinking more like...

Ben Smith
Rachin Ravindra
Will Young
Ross Taylor
Greg Hay/Tom Bruce/George Worker
Josh Clarkson
Christian Leopard

tbh

Wellington also brought through the Sears guy.

Oh yeah, he (16 and 65 days) and Felix Murray (17 & 75 days) are damn young for a team made up of mostly 19 year olds.

Me too jumping the bandwagon. Had to dig deep to get hold of this video of Ravindra's ball by ball video from the u19 tourney at Lincoln late last year. Watertight technique. Looks like the ball was nipping hard out.

How do you parse the video?

Click that option I've highlighted and go to trim.

Cheers but can't see that option even when I go advanced.

If you're logged in as NZ Fan, it should just be beneath the video there.

So you've got a contact who has video vault access here? Can we look at Zak Gibson's outing for ND A before he left?
