Younghusband not yet taken. I'll assume your 10th choice is pass.

Josh Clarkson for me.

Covid Curveballs delay Domestic Cricket (nzc.nz)

I think the difference in pitch conditions between October and April is big enough for me to permit some releasing and replacing of Auckland players. If you spot someone good in the upcoming team selections, you'll just let me know the Auckland player you want to release. Not many of us selected an Auckland swing bowler of course, apart from me taking Solia.

 

[Kippax]

Include Henry Cooper as an Auckland (residing) player you can release.

 

[NZTailender]

Has there been any squad updates etc? First round is next week iirc

 

[Kippax]

Not a whole lot to share yet. Anyone who wants to post a core six in batting order and their top two reserves can do so. Final lock will be 10.30am on the 23rd.

There's one warm-up game's scorecard:

New Otago recruit Gibson shows off skills

New Otago recruit Jake Gibson has made a promising early impression.

He nabbed four quick wickets on the opening day of a two-day intra-squad game at Logan Park this week.

Conditions were favourable for bowling, but four for six from six overs is pretty good going.

He helped reduce the Gold team to 50 for seven.

Earlier, the Blue team captained by Hamish Rutherford did not find the going much easier.

It posted 184. Dale Phillips was rewarded for his application and commitment to his game plan and got through to 51.

Veteran right-hander Neil Broom chipped in with 35.

Black Cap Jacob Duffy was the best of the bowlers for the Gold side. He took four for 15 from 12 overs.

Angus McKenzie took three for 50 and Travis Muller nabbed two for 43, including the key wicket of Phillips, who just made a mental lapse shortly after bringing up the milestone.

Otago’s opening Plunket Shield game is against Wellington at the Basin Reserve in just over a week.

Thanks NZT. Note that LvB will be back in the country after the first four Shield rounds have been played. Up to you to either keep him for the autumn rounds or to release and replace him now.

Would that only matter if I had either 4 players injured at once or if 1 main player and then Muller was also injured? I should hopefully be able to get by.

 

[Kippax]

Is Athlai having his usual terrible luck with his players? Yes, yes he is.

Unfortunately Ross Taylor can't get out of Hamilton. He and the team weren't aware he should apply for a travel for employment waiver of level 3 rules. My draft team also suffers with Ajaz Patel in Auckland. Anyone's guess if those exemptions will be granted in time for their 31 October game in Dunedin or their 7 November game in Nelson. First Test vs. India begins 25 November.

 

[Athlai]

The curse is real

 

[Prince EWS]

He and the team weren't aware he should apply for a travel for employment waiver of level 3 rules.

Just normal things travelling within the one country.
