Surprised that Mike Hesson didnt consider his fellow kiwis Devon Conway or Glenn Phillips. Conway is a leftie and it would have given them right left options as back up for Padikkal

Allen is a good pick..  Massive upgrade over Phillipe.

Finn is also Kiwi isn't he? And unlike Conway/Phillips he is not a foreign import

No that I know. I was wondering whether those two would have been better options.

Finn Allen is an interesting pick. Was the fiercest striker in Super Smash this season, 500+ runs at nearly a SR of 200

ideally they shud have gone for a good fast bowler, their bowling will loose them many games

First good decision made by RCB

Philippe strikes me as being raw as of now. he may be an outstanding talent, but I haven't seen much evidence yet beyond BBL. and even in BBL, likes of hales and vince did better.

Seems like a good pick.. RCB under Hesson seems to only look for Aus/NZ players?

Simon Katich is the coach.. and Hesson is the director of operations and that explains Aus/NZ players

They don't have a wicket keeper too.
