Looked like the ball held its line for the wicket ball...but those previous deliveries were all(except for the play and miss) awesome.

From memory Jamieson was barely picking much wickets before in plunket shield before he was flown over to Aussie as a replacement.
That was an excellent call by the management. Since then he been unstoppable. I think the NZ management know a thing or two about picking players. Can't say anyone's disappointed recently. Glad they're not going by runs and wickets at domestic level to pick their best XI.

I know Stead is notoriously conservative in his selections, but I wonder if CDG's position is under threat. If Rippon keeps scoring runs and they trust him at 7, a 7-11 of Rippon, Jamieson, Southee, Wagner, and Boult could form a pretty exciting bowling attack.

I do like this approach and comments by Stead.
Dilemma for Firebirds, Black Caps: What to do with Tom Blundell, Devon Conway in same lineup?
Incumbent test opener and the big mover cause a top-order headache, a month out from game one.www.stuff.co.nz
Although conveniently there is a huge wad of incoming A games before the tests, this is not usually the case, so don't know what he would have done in a more normal year.
I totally switch off from the sport during winter, so was surprised reading above about people picking him to come straight in at 5. With Nicholls incumbent and all. 6 months off means total non-recall of Nicholls' lean streak mentioned somewhere above.
But anyway, I think a full winter off for the players means lean streaks can be ignored/reset. Unless Nicholls continues the lean streak this spring in Plunket and NZA level, Hmmmm, to hard for me to call, thank god there are some A series to sort this out.
Edit. I'm talking test cricket only above.

Just looked at the schedules in Cricket Archive.
So complicated I had to pout in into table form for my own understanding.
If the schedules are correct. Then there won't be many 'A' opportunities before the first test of the summer. Just 2 matched by NZ A v West Indians touring XI.
Then NZ 'A' will play 2 series at the same time v WI A and Pak A. So presumably 2 different NZ A squads.
Although the same squad could play the last tests of both the WI A and Pak A series. One match starts 12th and the other 17th of Dec, so 1 day between end of first and start of second match, but need to get from Nelson to Whangarei. (My table is limited by rows - week starting Monday)

The Dec 12 match v the West Indies is an NZ XI match, not an NZ 'A' match, so that's how they'll swing that one.

Wow McPeake really does look like Shane Van Gisbergen's long lost brother

Give him 18 months or a couple of years, I still think CDG is a lock at this stage whilst he's doing a decent job with the ball and has the ability to take games away from the other team pretty quickly. But yeah it'd be more than handy to have a guy who can bat and offer penetration with the spinning ball. Whether that's Rippon, I dunno how his batting is and whether this week has been a bolt from the blue

Averaged 72 with the bat (and 23 with the ball) in Plunket Shield last season.
With significant batting contributions to Otago's wins in the last 2 rounds. Against Cant, 1st innings 78 in a 142 run 7th wicket partnership with Nathan Smith (recovery from 6-96 to 287), and a handy 30 in 2nd innings. Against CD a match winning 95* in 4th innings chase.

What use are NZ going to get from CdG's bowling if Jamieson were to become a very potent player-of-the-match seamer and good No. 8 bat in our typically bouncy green home conditions, that's why people are starting to bring Rippon and Phillips into the conversation more than CdG letting us down.
