Now the New Zealand A Team has been finalised for this year, I am in the process of trying to arrange interviews with the players that we selected, who were as follows:

Jamie How,
Michael Papps,
Ross Taylor,
Jesse Ryder,
Matthew Bell,
Peter Fulton,
BJ Watling,
Joseph Yovich,
Jeetan Patel,
Graeme Aldridge,
Roland Sherlock

Please let me know any questions that you would like me to ask them. So far, Northern Districts have responded positively. Their players are BJ Watling, Joseph Yovich and Graeme Aldridge.

Please try to assist as much as you can!!

Question for - Papps and Bell = "Bearing in mind NZ's huge capacity for injuries and some interesting selectorial whims, what do each of them feel they have to do to get back into the test side?"

Question for Patel = "With so many all-rounder options in your test side (Styris, Oram, Astle etc) can you see a time when NZ may play you and Vettori together in home tests, and how do you think that would go?"

Question for all - "With the retirement of Chris Cairns, who is now the 'grandaddy' or 'father figure' of the NZ side, that all you young pups can turn to for advice?"

Question for one and all :

Where did James Marshall get his exploded/electrocuted perm look for the Aus-NZ first ever 20-20 match done from? I'd like to sue the hair dressor for causing me mild gastrointestinal, mental and visual discomfort, and if you know a good non-profit lawyer, pass the contacts for him/her too, many thanks.
