Let's get them all up.
Sunde ahead of Briggs but he'll probs miss out. One spinner; only five bowlers in the squad + Harrison. Allen to score some runs? One can only hope. Playing:
Sounds like Field's almost recovered but not quite. Pretty much as expected, but will be interesting to see who starts out of Heaphy and Boyle (or maybe both). Neither Clark nor Small as the all-rounder spots are stacked.
No Popli, which unless he's injured is a seriously bad call – averaged 63 last season and 44 the two beforehand. KD Clarke and effective debutant S Patel (though he'll probably miss out) instead. Fisher's first game in a year. Wagz. Playing:
Rutherford and Muller unavailable for selection. Sounds like Foxcroft will be full-time captain. Bacon/McKay preferred to Hazeldine. Georgeson will probs play and open ahead of Todd. Lockrose now full-time spinner.
Canterbury plagued by unavailabilities: Shipley, O'Rourke, Mariu, Davey, McClure. Bowes isn't listed as unavailable, perhaps he's going white-ball only? Nicholls has gone missing as well. Of the two newbies, Russell's one in the endless line of Canterbury mediums and Hunter seems to be a batter from Aussie, Hunter being the one to probably debut. It's McKenzie and Sheat who are to medium-pace dismantle Wellington for 100, it seems, but Rae and Nuttall will leak a good few runs.
Can't find the Wellington squad.
