Debutants

Injuries at the top level has meant call-ups for those from the first-class circuit, creating gaps at that level. This means that the next round of the Shell Trophy will be a very interesting one with a whole pile of newcomers. The Herald has a breakdown of who is likely to be appearing. One player I am surprised to see missing from their list is Richard Sherlock. The young Canterbury pace man was selected for New Zealand 'A' in South Africa where he was hitting the 150kmph mark, then moved to Christchurch to play for Canterbury and has yet to appear for them at all this season. Still, Te Ahu Davis is making a mark with some pace (albiet not particularly well aimed sometimes) for Northern.
