A lot of those people were unlucky to be around in the early days of the Academy, where they were forced to bowl a lot on hard surfaces, there was no real knowledge or focus on workloads, and the academy had this blinkered biomechanics approach where one bowling style was supposed to fit all. A guy I know who played NZ u19s and for ND (in the same team as Cairns, Nash etc) went into the Academy bowling 140km+ outswingers, and came out of it bowling 130km inswingers with back injuries. Was never the same. No wonder Ashley Ross' son is a batsman.

Brent Arnel?
Nah, much further back than that. 1989 tour to England.

Craig Ross or Glenn Wilkinson?
Craig. Was quick and dangerous as a youngster but the Academy butchered his career

Iain O'Brien wrote a good piece about this. O'Brien turned down a place in the academy.
Young attack product of injury crisis
An experienced crop of bowlers should be available but their over-coaching has forced New Zealand to turn to youth - a policy that looks to be unexpectedly working

What's the source on the England test series being on Sky? The last two seasons, Spark have had the rights to the English summer.

I may be misremembering, but wasn't it Taraia Robin that ended up in hospital for a while with tetanus after grazing his knee playing at a ground on an old rubbish tip?Iain O'Brien wrote a good piece about this. O'Brien turned down a place in the academy.

I'm completely wrong. Bastard. I was under the belief all away series' were on SKY
Does this mean they take the Sky Sport UK feed?
That is a good piece. For all his battles in life, Obba was always a smart guy who could write really intelligently about cricket and his struggles with mental health in the team environment.Iain O'Brien wrote a good piece about this. O'Brien turned down a place in the academy.

He mentions Sherlock, Davis and Robin - I don't know the last guy, but the other two I don't think it's quite right to attribute biomechanics to the fact they didn't make it. Maybe that played a part, but they were guys who had interesting careers when they were on the pitch and played in an era where professionalism wasn't exactly rife...and followed suit.

Might be a good time for NZC to remember ODI World Cup is year and a half away.

it's true that dropping CDG is obvious.
while he's been a really good player for the black caps over many years now, his time is done.
apart from his magnificent 40 odd the other day, he hasn't taken a trick with the bat in the last 3 years over all formats.
he doesn't bowl enough to warrant selection there, so what's his worth if he can't score runs?
prepared to have egg splattered over my face if he gets a ton, but that hasn't looked close to likely for well over 1000 days now.
maybe at very least he could go to England as backup for other players getting injured over the 3 test series.
it's also really obvious Henry should bat at 9, but for political batting reasons, that probably won't happen.

He's been injured for the last year or so.
Was pretty epic with the bat from 2019 through to his injury in 2021. Scores in ODI's (World Cup) and Tests. Also let's not forget he's the only player to dismiss Steve Smith, Virat Kohli and Joe Root all in the same summer. Hahahahaha.

Whatever it takes!!!
Should have run out Kane at the other end and gone for the jugular. Wasted chance. WAC.
Ross already had, probably.
