Bradley Scott

Bradley Scott became a serial fringe member for New Zealand over the past year without being required for on-field national duty. A left-arm fast bowler and useful lower-order batsman, Scott was part of the extended 30-man World Cup outfit, but didn't make the Caribbean cut, and was in a similar position for the 2006 Champions Trophy. However, he was finally chosen for a senior trip when picked for the ICC World Twenty20 instead of James Franklin. Scott did not get a game but the tour itself was the reward for a productive visit to Australia with New Zealand A that built on the domestic gains he made with Otago in 2006-07. He captured 27 State Championship wickets at 23.62 last season - four more than the previous campaign - and posted his second first-class half-century. The 2007-08 season saw one of his best performances as he finished the overall joint second-highest wicket-taker in the State Championship with 31 wickets at 19.77.
