He played as a fast-bowling allrounder for his domestic sides,...
Watling repaying New Zealand's faith
In early 2011, BJ Watling's international record read like the careers of so many failed New Zealand openers before him. In the years after Nathan Astle, Mark Richardson and Stephen Fleming left the game, New Zealand seemed to trial a fresh opening prospect every six months.

Little mystery, much anticipation
