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

Hunter in the Otago squad.

There was a bit of love on this forum for Jamieson, but of those two giant blonde clones in the U19s -I actually preferred Hunter (although selectors didn't agree when Randall came into team the next year and he and Jamieson were the 2 seamers in the spinners-fest UAE World Cup).

But anyway, Hunter got more side on and got outswing. Action reminded me of a 6 foot 8 Kyle Mills.

Haha cmon, if you're going to accuse Howsie of drinking local bog water then I think you've been at the Tui too hard too. Once you step away in international cricket, in the top order, it's the one strike rule - you're out. THATS the Peter Ingram rule.

double like.

 

[Howsie]

Hmmm. Considering he isn't a patch on Will Young Santner has done well to outperform him by a large margin in this 'A' series.

Nelson teenager Josh Clarkson in line for first-class debut for Central Stags | Stuff.co.nz

A spate of injuries and a late summons for Adam Milne to the New Zealand A squad has Nelson teenager Josh Clarkson in line for his first-class cricket debut on Thursday.

The 18-year-old allrounder was named in the Central Districts 12 to face Otago in their Plunket Shield opener at Napier's Nelson Park, and looks a good chance of playing in the absence of four frontline bowlers.

Missing from selection consideration were fast bowler Milne, a late addition to the NZA squad for Saturday's four-dayer against Sri Lanka A, Ben Wheeler (back), Bevan Small (dislocated shoulder) and Seth Rance, who recovered from a groin injury but was granted paternity leave for the birth of his son. Also sidelined is another promising allrounder Christian Leopard, due to shin splints.

Central Stags: Ben Smith, Greg Hay, Will Young, Ross Taylor, Tom Bruce, George Worker, Kruger van Wyk (captain), Doug Bracewell, Josh Clarkson, Andrew Mathieson, Blair Tickner, Ajaz Patel (one to be omitted).

TAB expecting a reasonably gritty and respectable showing for us against Southee, Boult and KW this year.

 

[Kippax]

Flynn(C), Baker, J Boult, T Boult, Carter, Kuggeleijn, Mitchell, Popli, Santner, Southee, Watling, Williamson.

Hey what's Santner doing there. Everyone else is getting depleted by NZA duty.

 

[Kippax]

Oh they leave for Australia before the end of the first NZA four-dayer apparently. Santner therefore withdrawn from his pummeling of Lankans.

 

[NZTailender]

Hey what's Santner doing there. Everyone else is getting depleted by NZA duty.

That's a ridiculous side.

Cool, good to see CD promoting these guys. Hopefully Leopard is back in action soon too. The Nelson Mail article has a little bit more about Clarkson's recent background.

Clarkson is a Nelson representative player and was a star performer for the Nelson College First X1 at the Gillette Cup national secondary schools tournament earlier this year. He's also been a Central Districts age-group representative over the past few seasons whose sights are ultimately set on selection in the New Zealand team for next year's ICC Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh.

Still a better effort than last year when they made them even odds.

NZ A? Or there's a cap on players from one club side. Five would be taking the piss.

Glad we've got Woodcock out there opening to weather this new ball burst.

Imitating that other great opening batsman .... Ronnie Hire

Papps did relatively OK in Hamilton last season, his first inning effort was Wgtn's highest score of the match.

Bet that ND bowling coach Graeme Aldrdge is re-living this game, telling the young seamers "I remember when Tim and Trent and I rolled Wellington for 117 and then 58 ..."

So much for my hopes of another Flem274* gutsy knock video from Murdoch today. Now let's see what those known lovers of lateral movement Craig Cachopa, Pollard and Ronchi can produce.
