Does he have issues with this? Because he has seemingly more than earned his stripes now. He deserves a decent go at it.

Will Young has well and truly come a long way. He's now scoring in all formats and has good enough technique to play at the highest level. We have a great chance to finally be one of the top 3 cricketing nations in the next 10-15 years. We do have plenty of stocks in fast bowling, spin bowling, batting and wicket keeping. Now the team management and the selectors will play a massive role in how we will shape up in future. They have to give some good talents a go and rotate the players otherwise we may lose out on current and future talent given the BC team is so strong at the moment. The problem though is when the team is strong they may not prefer to tinker but that won't help. They have to somehow find a way to consistently get Young, Tickner, Jamieson, Seifert, Ravindra and the likes in the team. This will help the future.

The way I see it, the following players will serve NZ good if they can somehow rotate players. Some could just be playing a single format (updated with the facet of their skills):

Batsmen:

1 Kane Williamson
2 Martin Guptill (White ball only)
3 Tom Latham
4 Henry Nicholls
5 Ross Taylor
6 Colin Munro (White ball only)
7 Jeet Raval (Red ball only)
8 William Young
9 George Worker (White ball only)
10 Tom Bruce (White ball only)
11 Chapman (White ball only)

Fast bowlers
1 Trent Boult
2 Wagner (Red ball only)
3 Lockie Ferguson
4 Matt Henry
5 Tim Southee
6 Tickener
7 Hamish Bennett
8 Milne

Spin bowlers
1 Ajaz
2 Ish Sodhi

All rounders (Pace)
1 Colin de Grandhomme
2 Scott Kuggs
3 James Neesham
4 Corey Anderson
5 Jamieson
6 Logan Van Beek
7 Darryl Mitchell (White ball only)

All rounders (spin)

1 Todd Astle
2 Mitchell Santner
3 Rachin Ravindra

Wicket keepers

1 Tom Blundell
2 Tim Seifert
3 Glenn Phillips (White ball only)
4 BJ Watling (Red ball only)

I may have missed out one or two players but this is quite an exhaustive list to work from. You can pick any of the players from above and likely they will fit in.

There's quite a few promising South African born players looking to qualify, so that influence will ramp up in a couple of years. Conway, Nofal, Foxcroft, Ludick, etc.

dunno, i just noticed his relatively low boundary percentage in the 80 and was curious

 

[Howsie]

So many internationals, what a team

I didn't see Young's innings, but the commentators did mention in the second innings that he was getting a lot of 2s and keeping the run-rate up nicely doing it.

Disappointed to see him fail today, but blowing it in a big game just further qualifies him for the Blackcaps.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

ND in a big spot of bother here ...

 

[The Hutt Rec]

And Anderson gone, this is officially going down in flames territory.

 

[vandem]

Mitchell 5 (5) and Anderson 2 (8) not putting their hands up for the "16th player waiting for Neesham injury" spot.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

True, CD are stacked.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Great win by the Stags, very happy to see them win it after two final losses on the trot.

 

[jcas0167]

Hard to think of an overall better quality bowling effort in a NZ final. Amazing to think the likes of Milne, Tickner, Bracewell, Patel and Kuggeleijn likely won't make the WC squad.

Impressive maturity from Foxcroft to hold the CD innings together. Probably destined for higher honours once he qualifies.

 

[Flem274*]

the stags, how good. facing the black caps and the purchased caps and their op team released just for this and we still dick them. yesssss boi

 

[Immenso]

Good stuff stags, Either my ND roots have finally faded away, or I'm disinterested in the Blake Park based non-ND team that ND has become. But I was glad to see ND stuffed.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

It was a great underdog victory, and that it came at the hands of a truely home grown and developed side like CD made it even better. Definitely one of the more memorable domestic finals in a long time.

 

[Howsie]

A “truely home grown side”? You can’t be talking about CD there mate? Foxcroft, Patel, Bracewell, Tickner and Noema-Barnett are not home grown talents.

 

[Howsie]

Anyway congrats to CD, too good on the day. I don’t know why we played on that dogshit wicket, it just brought the two teams closer together. ND would’ve thumped them on a flat wicket.
