Think Mathew Bell was 17 and opening for ND.
But may have been hawke cup for Northland, need to check.
Edit. Yes, only 17 years and 1 month old when debuted for ND at FC level, although it was non-Plunket Shield: Northern Districts v New Zealand Academy.
But debuted in PS only 6 months later at start of next season.

Think he's referring to John Aitken. And yeah, looks like he debuted as a teenager for Wellington.

Ah, OK. Yeah, 19 I think. 156 on debut IIRC. Absolutely waxed lyrical about by the radio commentators on sports roundup. All we had to go on back then.
Edit: Looking it up in the archive. Was at Lancaster Park. so it would have been Peter Sharp on comms with one other.

Glenn Turner aged 17. But he played middle order for a couple of seasons before switching to opener.

Good to see Otago finally developing a few decent young homegrown players:
Chu
Llew Johnson
Cumming (and perhaps his little brother too)
Beckham Wheeler-Greennall maybe

They gave us Smith, Duffy and of course developed Wagner into a test bowler. Retaining players, not finding them, has always been the challenge.
Whoops Matt Gibson not Fisher, thanks @ataraxia
Binkley
U19 Captain
I remember listening to that. For some reason Henry Blofeld was on guest comms, and he just raved about the innings.

North Otago gave us Smith and Southland gave us Duffy.

Both part of Otago for cricket though (like Llew Johnson NO as well). Not like Craig Cumming (from South Canterbury which is part of Canterbury). Otago should really be called "Southern Districts".

I lived and played cricket in all three of those places, so I am precious and parochial about them
Neil Young
State Vice-Captain
They produce gems but it's often been the players surrounding them that have been a little substandard. I can't think of too many Otago born and bred players that have flown the coop over the years (Smith being the obvious recent exception). Their imports regularly drift away/home, though.
