It was a shame that Johann Myburgh, another player who came over when Dave Nosworthy was coaching Canterbury, shifted to England just when he was getting close to qualifying.

Nah, Myburgh would've been another van Wyk at the international level - might've produced one or two solid performances but ultimately lacked the goods to make a real go at it. The fact that he's really struggled to hang on to a spot in county cricket over the last 5 years is indicative of where he's at.

Not Terrible
Pitches got pretty flat domestically after about 2008, it's only really in recent seasons where we have seen the roads become slightly less commonplace.

Teams (birthplace or first major association in brackets):
North Island: Ross Taylor (captain, Lower Hutt), Todd Astle (Palmerston North), Doug Bracewell (Tauranga), Anton Devcich (Hamilton), Grant Elliott (Johannesburg/Wellington), Mitchell McClenaghan (Hastings), Adam Milne (Palmerston North), Colin Munro (Durban/Auckland), Jimmy Neesham (Auckland), Luke Ronchi (Dannevirke), Ish Sodhi (Ludhiana, India/Northern Districts), George Worker (Palmerston North).
South Island: Tom Latham (captain, Christchurch), Dean Brownlie (Perth/Canterbury), Jacob Duffy (Lumsden), Andrew Ellis (Christchurch), Peter Fulton (Christchurch), Matt Henry (Christchurch), Nathan McCullum (Dunedin), Henry Nicholls (Christchurch), Marty Kain (Nelson), Hamish Rutherford (Dunedin), Nathan Smith (Dunedin), Neil Wagner (Pretoria/Otago).
State of Origin sides. Marty Kain? Nutall or Jamieson surely. Nice to see Nathan Smith there.

not hard ffs. after the dark ages of useless coaches like Stuart and Siddons you'd think they would learn to stop importing everyones leftovers. if you're going to import at least be good at it like Otago and ND are. you shouldn't be losing by an innings to an auckland side missing so many first choice bowlers that batting allrounders are rolling up their sleeves for some full time work bowling 115-120kph.
speaking of which what the **** is donovan grobbelaar doing at #9? i don't really get domestic selectors sometimes. im not a smart cricket person but there are some weird and downright cynical (hira to open) selectors out there.
in slightly better news, CD just fended off another 4th seamer andy ellis blitz to hold on for a draw thanks to the skipper and the lower order digging in. if young ever figures out how to turn his million 50s into big tons (yeah he was not out today) he'll stroll into the test team soon enough.

Yeah that's where Smith comes in though. A young swing bowler who is better than Hutchinson. Sears still going at a 5.13 ER against domestic U19 kids ftr.

hutchinson wasn't the reason wellington lost. arnel and jeets provided nothing and the others weren't much better.
and CdG and The Don (his new name so I don't have to attempt his last name) took 8 of Auckland's 20 wickets compared to Bates and McAndrew (who can also **** off back to Australia) took 5 in the match. Nethula had a good game of 6 wickets which means the paper over the Auckland bowling cracks didn't just beat Wellington but destroyed them, and that shouldn't happen to a strong FC side.

Come on. Ravindra was out if his depth at the u19s. He's still just a kid.

Shameful move from NZ Cricket to poach him for this game when North Otago has its first Hawke Cup defence that weekend. He was a key part of the team prior to heading away to the Under-19 WC

Still well on track to average 50ish for his second season running. Given his long held status as one of the chosen ones, I reckon he's on track to be in the mix for the post-Baz team (once Nicholls inevitably gets binned).

he probably would have scored 65* on day 1 of the test with ***y late playing and leaves
then scored 25 when it was flat.
his disdain for jamieson and van beek in the 84 was fun. check out the first boundary of him baseballing it back past the bowler.
i like nicholls and his shovel i hope he makes it.

It might be time for Edgar to take a punt on Weerasundara coming good if given a chance. Alternatively, open with Pollard and bring in ex-South African under 19 player Malcolm Nofal to stiffen the middle order. Not to stereotype, but he'll probably have that South African mental toughness.
