Weird to see him being left out of the Ford Trophy given his list A record. Maybe he had an injury and his return to the side is being managed?

He's not actually listed in the ND A playing XI so it's a little weird - could be injury management like you say.

Gee some of those dismissals in ND's loss to Wellington are heinous. Younghusband looked genuinely embarrassed about the full toss that O'Donnell slogged to deep mid wicket.

Heaphy seems like someone CD have invested a lot in and it's starting to pay dividends. IIRC he did well in Plunket Shield last year. Seems like a fairly orthodox player but watching his boundaries a number come from switch hits.

Heaphy showed all the tricks in his knock which included 10 fours and two sixes, dotted liberally with sweeps, laps and reverse laps against the increasingly frustrated home bowlers.

Heaphy, a Palmerston North Boys’ High School product and NZ Under-19 rep, made his first-class debut at 19 when then-coach Rob Walter called him as he was about to go into a university exam, and scored 43 in his first knock against Northern Districts.

He spent this winter with Bristol in the West of England Premier League and plundered 800 runs at an average of 67, including five centuries.

I think he is quite a slow scorer ( at this stage). His strike rates are quite low. When watching his boundary highlights on the live scorecard I thought it was quite remarkable how late in the innings his first boundary was, for an opening batsman in a white ball game.

Don't mean this as a criticism. Rather than a younger batsman with 'all the shots, but no idea' , he is probably more the opposite "all the idea, but too few shot". Both extremes mean that sort of player has a few years of developing still to do, IMO. But I'm way more hopeful for his skillset than for players with the opposite.

Oooh Toby Hart. This is something I'm looking forward to seeing. Go well young man.

A first look with a camera down the pitch, rather than side(ish) on.

Lived up to my expectations, he should be a good-un.

I'm a bit flabbergasted that a young un-contracted player mamaged to get a game. Especially an early season game
