I'm wondering who is going to open alongside Raval and take the gloves.
Didn't Guptill miss out on an NZC contract?
Anyway, backing Myburgh for a huge season now he's moved to Auckland Airport Runway to bat.
I suspect the CD First Class side will look something like:
How
Ingram
Patton
Sinclair
Weston
Bracewell
van Wyk
Mason
Milne
McClenaghan
Nethula
Backing us to do quite well tbh. The attack could be a little expensive, but there is plenty of wicket taking ability in there. Hopefuly it won't need to be the Mason/Thompson show to get all our wickets this year, because Thommo is gone and this must be about Mason's last year.
The batting of course, is God-like. Only Auckland have anything able to challenge it.

Surely Diamanti will slot in somewhere, I'd look for him to bat at six because there is no way Doug Bracewell is good enough to bat there, not at the moment anyway. I'd go Bracewell at eight, and Nethula at nine with Mason and McClenaghan rounding out the tail.

They don't seem to give Diamanti much of a run in FC.
And there's no way he should bat six.
Bracewell hasn't had any real go in the middle order and he's supposed to be a genuine allrounder, so he might as well slot in at six.
Diamanti could bat at eight, but I'd rather give Milne the go in the longer form and keep Diamanti for his strongest formats, OD and 20/20.

Cricket: Auckland lose Myburgh but extra slot now open - Cricket - NZ Herald News
Tough luck Auckland. It's disappointing for New Zealand but I'm pretty meh on it, would rather us not have to pick players like your Myburgh's and Van Wyk's that come over here at an advanced age looking to play international cricket.

Dissapointed to hear this news.
If he was like the 5th player we had in the team of SA origin I might have questioned it - but had no problem with 1 or 2 SA players in our team.
Sucks.
Seth tears **** up in the wairarapa, easily the best bowler in the club scene here.
Although then again, it is only the wai

I notice Dusan Hakaraia got an Auckland contract *thumbs up* Still don't really understand what took so long

Can you blame him? He hasn't even picked up a contract with Otago (which is a complete joke) can you really expect him to turn down this deal with the type of money he'll be earning. It's a real shame because Fuller was the best of the 08/09 New Zealand under 19 bowlers, a much better prospect then the likes of Tugaga, Mathieson and Verma imo.
Ah well, at least New Zealand still have Neil Wagner

It's not like he has said he's aiming to play for England.
Assuming he hangs around home in the English off-season and wants to play for NZ, it will be a great opportunity and he should take it.

Yeah hopefully. If not though

Pretty much what I thought last week, the three year deal basically gave it away. They're not signing him to play as their overseas pro so to speak, it's a development thing.

I wish these hack journalists would ask the guy himself what his plans are and save us from speculating.
He wouldn't 'effectively disqualify himself from playing for New Zealand', unless he actually intends to not keep that door open and just lives there permanently.
He'll be available for Otago this season when he's fit anyway.
