*Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

It's just really sad that he's got so much talent but can't apply it for NZ. I was travelling through Rotorua over the Christmas break. I was tempted to track down the busy bodies who told him off for drinking after the ODI against SA last year and then told the media about it. They and Craig McMillan have a lot to answer for.

Yeah, I saw him get out cheaply in a T20 last season and thought the same. He's done really well back in Auckland though. Auckland has loads of young talent, a lot of it now in other provinces.

Nope. He played Auckland U-19s and made a big century in one of the games at the national tournament but didn't make the NZ squad for the 2001/02 World Cup, which surprised me at the time as he obviously had a big reputation and had then put runs on the board at the tournament.
He has played club cricket ever since and I regularly see him making big runs.
I'm no talent scout and I can't claim to know a FC standard cricketer when I see one, but the things he has done (like the U-18 season I mentioned) seem pretty extraordinary to me. I can only guess it's off-field stuff and rubbing people the wrong way that has held him back.
Disclaimer: I don't know the guy, have only vaguely followed his career and am no expert. However I have previous as I touted Tarun Nethula (who is also 29) for years after playing him at school- it took him until his mid-20s to play FC cricket but he quickly made the Black Caps

Hopefully he can cement his place in the Auckland line up now with that hundred. I remember Anaru Kitchen burst onto the scene a few years ago, what's happened to him?
That 2002 WC squad was one of the better ones.
A massive win coming up against Matt Quinn's Auckland this week, then the saddos are lost without him tbf.

It's Wellington. They could field Bradman reincarnate and still find a way to lose. They almost gave Devcich a 20/20 hundred.

No, we're finished for this season FC-wise actually. Wgtn have to look forward to domination of the Ford Trophy now, the perk of "not producing anything" as Howsie would say.
Even Franky looking like he'll play some games, Sam Wells flummoxing Ronchi with some fairly gentle inswingers I noticed. #number7update.

Duffy has chance to earn Volts spot | Stuff.co.nz
Jacob Duffy's brother possibly opening in the 2nd innings for the Depleto Volts. Fuller to cover their losses on days three and four, then he's done for the summer by the sounds.
