Alexander Dowie ... Note the name, it could become a household one in New Zealand cricket.
With the Black Caps hierarchy scouring the country for young talent to develop, up pops a schoolboy saying, "Hi, I am here in Hawke's Bay."
Dowie, 17, in year 13 and heading for Waikato University to study commerce and business management, raised eyebrows when playing for Lindisfarne College against archrivals Scots College from Wellington - a three-day game that ended on on Tuesday last week.
Known as AJ, this slightly built, medium-fast right-hander ripped Scots College apart with a haul of 11 wickets for 57.
In stamina-sapping heat, he bagged 3-33 in the first innings, following up with a hostile 8-24 in the second. Lindisfarne have now squared the win/loss ratio against a team who have a $4 million cricket centre.
