**Official** New Zealand Domestic Season 2013/2014

Have been a little disappointed with Henry's start to the season, following his less-than-stellar A series in the subcontinent. Has 5 wickets at over 35 which doesn't seem so bad, but only one of those was a top-order wicket and that was M.Bracewell on 129. Didn't see him move any off the straight in the handful of highlight deliveries I watched either. Hope he rediscovers that special something because he's a fantastic prospect imo.

Yeah I was wrong to lump Soper in with Bradley Scott as a FC selection with absolutely zero upside a while back. I'd assumed any shape back down a right-hander's lbw line was impossible, but apparently not.

It's top-order left-handers who are really hating his emergence on the scene especially though. The vault says he's 9/145 vs. LHBs since his debut, all nine before the 20th over. Cutting them in half and challenging their stumps with movement in, taking the odd one away from them as well.
Kippax, what does the vault say Henry averages v LHBs?

The vault says it only has 17 of Henry's 43 FC wickets. His initial very cheap fivefers against Wgtn and ND aren't in the vault, for example.

Of the recent games they have in there, he's 6/163 vs. LHBs, and 11/465 vs. RHBs.

The vault isn't working for me atm so i cant double check, but from what i saw Henry was looking genuinely threatening, producing lots of edges even if he didn't take wickets
