Shame to see Mitch Hay miss out, thought had looked good in his appearances last season
He hasn't really nailed down t20 batting, yet. Even at domestic level. Looks like Seifert is who they are inking in for that for this T20 cycle.
The decision of Blundell or Hay for the upcoming test squad will be interesting, though.

Yeah I agree they should be developing him he is the best WK in NZ and showed enough for Canterbury and NZ in 20/20 to be selected.
Siefert is a hit and miss Wk who gets untidy in 20/20 you can't afford to let runs through behind the wicket a good 20/20 bat. -

Weird thing is these tests aren't part of the current WTC cycle.
Disappointing (unsurprising however) that KW and a couple others choosing leagues/county cricket over playing for NZ.@Virgil said in NZ Cricket:

Getting paid vs spending 5 days grinding in the heat in Zim ... you can kind of understand it. This is the modern way of cricket unfortunately - so much money in the leagues

Well any batsmen forgoing this tour is giving up a chance to really pad their averages if the SA test is anything to go by

2-0 series victory provided the weather holds. Zimbabwe don't look like a test team to me.
Conway can thank his lucky stars KW is unavailable. His place must have been in jeopardy.
Is Jamieson unavailable or injured ?

But, I'm incredibly disappointed that his vacant place on this gimme tour is being back-filled by a fully declinef 33 year old.
What an incredibly disappointing test squad, opportunity wasted.

Good to see Matt Rowe get a full contract with Canterbury after moving from CD.
Probably the most promising Under 20 year old quick in NZ.
One to look out for in the future.
Has good pace moves the ball late creates good bounce and comes over the top nice and tall with a good seam up.
To me he looks the best young quick we have had for a while.
Can hold a bat as well can establish himself as a decent no.8. -
I wasn't that connected with NZ Cricket through the Moles era (no Foxtel, lkmited internet). Any comment on this?
Interesting he thinks his career is worth a book.

‘Brand McCullum’ what a cock.
However I remember him bursting onto the scene with a very Aussie swagger about him which I think definitely benefitted the team.
Hard to say who is in the right.
But yes, very surprised this is apparently worth a book
-
Interesting in Ross Taylor's book that he thought quite highly of Moles and was surprised by the player revolt at the time.
