The early days of Daniel Flynn's international career will be most remember for him walking off Old Trafford with a mouthful of blood and two fewer teeth. Such an injury could have severely dented the confidence of a young batsman, but Flynn is made of sterner stuff. He made his first-class debut for Northern Districts on the back of several impressive performances in the 2003-04 Under-19 World Cup, in which he captained New Zealand. A stockily built, powerful left-hander, he struck his maiden hundred against Central Districts in December 2005 but then followed two mixed seasons, and it wasn't until 2007-08 that he showed his true colours - particularly in one-dayers. A ferocious 143 from 117 balls took Northern Districts to a big win over Wellington in January, and his 149 (from 141 balls) in February earned him a call-up to New Zealand's Twenty20 squad, replacing the injured Jacob Oram. He did not get much opportunity in his early games but was named for the Test and ODI tours of England and earned a national contract for 2008-09. He debuted at Lord's, then he suffered his sickening blow in the mouth at Old Trafford from James Anderson. However, he retained his place for the final Test and can expect a decent run in the middle order.
