So it will be Franklin, Edwards, Burns, Elliott, Woodcock/Houghton/Schaw? Maybe Boam in there?Wellington missing Gillespie, Burtt, Bowden and Tugaga for their first match. Oh boy. Tony Stewart is apparently rummaging around for school boys and club bowlers to fill the void.
Rhodes was playing in their trials; he might make an appearance. Or they could play that guy who just called himself "Sachin" in the trialsSo it will be Franklin, Edwards, Burns, Elliott, Woodcock/Houghton/Schaw? Maybe Boam in there?
Absolutely ridiculous. It's not just the first match either, both Gillespie and Burtt will be out until at least the HRV cup apparently - which is the first three rounds of the Plunket shield.Wellington missing Gillespie, Burtt, Bowden and Tugaga for their first match. Oh boy. Tony Stewart is apparently rummaging around for school boys and club bowlers to fill the void.
Will Franklin be playing? Or is it actually going to be only the players from that trial match I posted on cricsim? Will post it below for the benefit of any non CS members interested in Welly.Maybe. Probably not in the first round but I bet Wellington sent him an S.O.S
O'Brien is the only Wellingtonian bowler I will tolerate doing well against us.

Haha yeah arguably made the batting harder to pick and the bowling didn't tell us much at all. Lamb will probably play but he has been near the first class team for a bit.That game didn't really help you guys decide did it?
And hey long time no see Marc Calkin. Played a couple of 20/20s a few years back for CD.
He isn't likely to play in any of the first three first class games according to Stuart.FFS I finally thought Wellington were coming together a bit. Will O'Brien be playing?
Nah loans demean the competition IMO. First Class cricket is more than just national trials. If ND's reserves want a better crack at playing they should move properly.He isn't likely to play in any of the first three first class games according to Stuart.
New Zealand cricket should get a loan system up and running, Northern Districts alone have three or four quick bowlers who should be playing first class cricket but aren't.
Stop playing so many **** batsmen and go in with a team full of bowlers.He isn't likely to play in any of the first three first class games according to Stuart.

Any word on Franklin then? We will really need him leading the pace attack.He isn't likely to play in any of the first three first class games according to Stuart.
