A plague of New Zealanders

Andre Adams has just been signed by Essex.  Which means we currently have four players on the County circuit - Adams, Ian Butler at Kent, and James Edward Charles and Craig Spearman at Gloucestershire.  With Chris Cairns (Notts), Nathan Astle (Notts and Derby), Dan Vettori (Notts) and Stephen Fleming (Middlesex) all having played the county game in recent years, England is turning into quite the nursery for New Zealand talent.
 
Unfortunately nurses sometimes seem to take a shine to the kiddies, and in one case at least, the kiddy is starting to take a shine to nursey - Craig Spearman has said in an interview with Wisden that he would consider playing for England if the chance arose - stating that he now felt more at home in England than he did in New Zealand.  Hum.
