Title: An Englishman in NZ
Post by: potzy248 on January 09, 2017, 08:43:35 AM

So had an interesting day today and ended up with Alex Lees joining the team I coach this Saturday. He's over for some game time. I coach the local schools 1st Xl who play in the mens Club comp. Should be a good addition from what Ive googled.

Really good player, he's been touted for future England honours over the past few seasons and quite highly thought of by Yorkshire's two most vocal ex players (Boycott and Vaughan).

Big Fella is currently 208no for our province in a 3 dayer. Scorecard blackcaps.co.nz not a bad signing so far.
