Mark Craig??? Who is this guy? This may just be showing my lack of attention to domestic cricket, but I've never heard of the guy before.

"Auckland-born Craig, 27, took 22 wickets at an average of 39.72 in the Plunket Shield. He was the best-performed offspinner and the selectors wanted someone who turns the ball away from the West Indies' left-handers."

Then Mike Hesson says "Mark has had a strong Plunket Shield taking 22 wickets and his right-arm off-spinners will be valuable against their left-handed heavy top order batting line-up."

Really? 22 wickets at an average of 40 is a strong campaign these days?
