Random weekend to choose this to cover, but was highly interested in how (and who) of our lads were going in County cricket, including those past, present and maybe future Blackcaps and other nations that have graced our shores in the cricketing endeavours.
With the end of the IPL nearing, fair to say attention switches to the tour of The Africas. But before that happens ( and for 2 months) Blackcap players will find their way to get some red ball practice on the picturesque grounds where people sup wine, players do what they can for their county team, and battles ebb and flow.
So with that in mind, which kiwi cricketers (and those that played for our clubs previously) have shone this weekend.
