Basically you have Neesham & Anderson thinking they can get back into the ODI mix quickly when available. Anderson's case when back from injury.
Worker, Munro, Nicholls just doesn't seem to inspire a whole lot of confidence.
Phillips & Henry (at least 1 of him, Kuggs, Lockie) was a shoe-in.
TAstle over Sodhi has to be controversial. Sodhi was putting up the numbers and performances for a little while now and thought he was an obvious selection.
India Board XI and A teams seem all about Nair, Iyer, Shaw and Pant. Those are the batsman they backing for the next generation. Be interesting if any travel to SA especially after they were here on A tour. Shaw will probably be in NZL though.

Most of the 6 players picked themselves but Astle's selection was based on one spell? It's going to be interesting to see how Munro goes in India and against spin. Kane's preference is Santner, he's locked in for the next 10 years I'd think :-) The only problem with Santner is that he just blocks one end by tight bowling. In India spinners need to be bowling aggressive lines and length. They should be the strike bowlers but we have to rely on our fast bowling stock even in India to pick wickets while Santner will bowl tidy spell. Ish Sodhi although expensive would have been a better choice even ahead of Santner as he picks up wickets regularly. Sure he bowls lot more loose balls but bowls way more wicket taking balls.

Good stuff, Prithvi Shaw opened the batting and smashed few runs. India truly has good vision for their young players and know how to develop a batter throwing them to deep end. I was disappointed they played him in the first two games against our As and drop for the last two. Good to see him get a chance here. This lad was not even considered for the india under 19s last time around meanwhile we've had 4 under 19 players that played last time and are eligible for the next one in Jan here. What progress has our 4 lads made since? I see they are still playing school/club cricket, not even close to make the first class sides (maybe barring Ravindra, not sure?).
I'd like to see its made mandatory for our domestic sides to play at least one NZ Under 19 in each side. That's the only way develop our younger ones given we don't have much cricket played outside of club cricket on horrendous decks. We have to take a leaf out of India and follow that model.

Yeah I'd nip in the bud any 'Jacob Duffy's become my mentor' scenarios and would start getting a NZ Under-23 outfit out in the big wide world urgently I think, if I was a serious NZC CEO. It has been getting pretty jarring in recent months to see our kids looking so devoid of class compared to the Breetzkes and Shaws.

That truly is a great idea, they have loads of first class and twenty20 tourneys. Surely our local domestic associations can tie up with them.Lots of South African universities away, maybe. Maybe some of those Indian T20 leagues underneath the IPL that are popping up on telly.
I know the CSA Talent Acceleration Programme Invitational XI would fancy their chances -
