Cameron Fletcher (Old Boys Collegians)
Matt Henry (Marist Harewood)
Roneel Hira (Lancaster Park Woolston)

Tough one. I'd like to see WIlliamson dropped personally. Not because he isn't in the top 6 bats. Just they got plenty of strength without him and it would be a cool statement to make.
Yorkshire had all their Test blokes available and didn't know who to drop from the batting lineup. He suggested dropping Williamson, because England.haha context?
It may not be an issue when Hesson decides to play two spinners in the UAE tests.Wagner continuing on his miserable County form into Plunket cricket. At what point does this become a worry?
.He suggested dropping Williamson, because England.
bellend bracewell killing me talking about looking for a replacement captain.
“Australia, for example, have a real void in leaders at the moment so there could be a good opportunity to talk to them about developing one."
Dude your meant to be developing Gloucestershire cricketers to play for England rather than improving Australians or New Zealanders which he seems to spend all his time doing. bellend
Surely Hira doesn't miss out. Almost got Canterbury in the final last season. Will probably bat 3.norffs batting options skips straight from openers to final over hitters. surely hira misses out and mitchell and derek bat at three and four?
not to mention half the county players are locals from well known counties Austrashire, South Afrihampton and New Zealset. Luke Ronchi's Wellington would blush.With all that stolen ICC money by the big 3, and much of England's cash channeled into the counties, the least they could do is let a county like Gloucester help develop some NZ talent.
Bloody hoarders.
Noticed Auckland had 7 players born outside New Zealand in their XI the other day. Got to love globalisation.
