Daniel Vettori has admirably filled the void left by the test retirement of Oram, but longer term there are some interesting potential stars emerging. Glancing at the recent domestic results, the 19 year old Corey Anderson has featured strongly with bat and ball.
Anderson became the youngest person to play first class cricket in New Zealand since the 1940's when he debuted for Canterbury shortly after his 16th birthday. The NZ selectors obviously recognise his talent as he was picked for NZ A last year and enjoyed success with the bat. The left hander bats in the top six and seems capable of playing destroying attacks with power hitting (see below). What is encouraging about his recent results is that he is now breaking through with his bowling after recovering from shoulder surgery. Hopefully Anderson will continue to impress and it seems a matter of time until we see him in NZ colours.
