Honestly I don't know why Astle was in the T20 black caps side. Is that because he's from Canterbury? He bowls all right but bowls loads of **** balls too. Doesn't have the control to bowl consistently in T20 but he was the back up spinner for Santner. How and why?

This is what I call one step forward and two steps backwards.

For every selection of Phillips, Seifert we have guys like Henry, Astle selected.

There are good cricketers from other centres too.

Young could have taken a little easy there with Clarkson at the other end. That's what Conway does best and takes it deep.

Conway went to the wrong province. :(

Yup if he choose nd or Canterbury he'd have played all formats.

That said Canterbury guys don't entertain any players from outside of their province so chances are Conway still would have been slogging away at club cricket.

mitchell and fletcher immediately come to mind as counterexamples

Dougie is a very very good player if he didn't mess up he'd have played lot of cricket for Black caps.

Conway would have been on the lunch-break of the tests saying how important Christchurch Boy's High is to him.

Dougy B with the big finish. Looked like some good batting, no real slugs. Pretty awful death bowling though.

don't give clarkson mitchell, give him your dirtiest finger spinner
Don’t fall for Kippax and his tricks. This is the same guy who told us for years Seifert was rubbish. Clarkson is probably the biggest talent you lot have produced in years.
