Excellent! I was doing some research on Trueman a while back and remembered the Surrey dominance and Yorks dominance before..
No wonder Surrey was unstoppable in that era.

And maybe with Stuart Clark as well. Be right up there if they did
Hadlee / Rice / Hendrick / Hemmings for a couple of seasons. But IIRC Hendrick and Rice had some injury problems in those seasons, so not many games where all four bowled.

You'd think McGrath, Lee, Clark and MacGill would've played together at one point.

On paper the Northern Districts' attack playing today is pretty useful, even if they're probably going to lose to Auckland:
Bowling O M R W ER Wd Nb
TG Southee 24 7 97 3 4.04 0 0
TA Boult 24 2 73 1 3.04 0 0

They could have also bowled a bit of KDub and Anton Devcich if they'd wanted as well. Hmm - Watling as a specialist opener and Santner at 4
Kugglelijn with a 5-fer as 4th seamer

Let's not forget Brad Hogg, who was their first choice spinner. And the medium pace of Kade Harvey.
WA definitely had a better batting lineup than most, but that bowling attack is nothing special when compared to VIC, NSW & QLD from the same era.

They also had Goodwin for a period too (though the late 90's he was Zimbabwean based). Moody was better than Campbell with the bat too.

A young Marcus North too. Mark Atkinson was also floating around then as well.

Northern Districts has now signed up Neil Wagner and Colin De Grandhomme.
They have a ridiculous number of bowlers/allrounders on the books:
Boult
Southee
Wagner
De Grandhomme
Corey Anderson
Scott Kuggleijn
Santner
Sodhi
Williamson
Devcich

Baker as well. Feel like Kuggs and him will suffer the most looking at that.

It has a de facto one by virtue of NZC funding. These are centrally contracted player movements and outside NZ FC funding except for match fees, though.
Boult and Southee play one or two max FC games before the international season starts anyway. CDG and Santner has a similar workload.
What ND do gain is Wagner as he is tests only so plays a lot of the FC season.
