Poll results and a new poll

My last poll asked who would have the best county season. None of you thought Nathan Astle (315 runs at 35 and 3 wickets at 55.33 so far) would lead the averages, three of you backed Scott Styris (679 runs at 42.43 and 18 wickets at 37.22), and second place in the rankings was shared by three players - Stephen Fleming (934 runs at 58.37), Craig Spearman (1340 runs at 46.20) and Hamish Marshall (1066 runs at 59.22) attracted nine votes each. Top spot - at a canter - was won by James Franklin. At this stage of the season he hasn't really justified that faith, making 325 runs at 25 and taking 27 wickets at 30.62. Brendon McCullum (306 runs at 61.20) and Lou Vincent (417 runs at 52.12) both won county contracts too late to make my poll. Dan Vettori only played one game (scoring 27 and returning figures of 0-92) before his back packed in.

My new poll asks about the make-up of the New Zealand team for the Champions Trophy. You can vote for more than one option.
