Think he's a pretty likely candidate for the number 7 spot when Steady decides Macewell's pies are ill suited to a Hagley Greentop.Sad he didn't get the century. He's an interesting one as he was an allrounder batting 6 or 7 for Auckland, until their chronic lack of an opener led to Solia taking it up. First season was absolutely awful. But had a little more success in the last two seasons and scored a couple of centuries. The medium pace is very NZ-dobbly stuff, though seems to have the wicket-taking knack.
I have no idea what format and where in the order he might fit into an NZ side, but has enough about him (plus the mullet) to be trialed in A cricket anyway.
Far easier just to pick one or two of Rachin, G Phillips, and Foxcroft in the top 7 with 4 specialist seamers though.Think he's a pretty likely candidate for the number 7 spot when Steady decides Macewell's pies are ill suited to a Hagley Greentop.
Phillips is probably next-in-line there. I don't know who Solia would come in for, Mitchell?Far easier just to pick one or two of Rachin, G Phillips, and Foxcroft in the top 7 with 4 specialist seamers though.
Solia is an interesting case however. Murphy Su'a and Rosco are the only Samoans to play for NZ so if Solia makes it he'd be the 3rd.
He’s the sort of bloke who immediately commands respect from Australians. Why do you think Ben Stokes goes so good in the Ashes?This performance from Kuggeleijn defies logic.
He's been terrible in Plunket Shield (28 @ 38.93 in the last 3 seasons), yet put him in front of some Aussies & he finds a way to perform (14 wkts in the 3 A matches so far this year @ 23.29). I don't get it.

The Kuggeleign thing is actually the worst.Not sure what's worse. This collapse happening, or that Bancroft hasn't yet became part of it
