remind anyone of Goldie....

Yep, as this was an article about a young fellow that has distinguished himself already in pursuits he loves, I say good on him and you two should head back to the crosswords and culture sections on stuff, nothing for unsporty types like you to see here and your negitive comments a far from warranted.

Nope. there are heaps of kids like this all over nz. I know a girl who did nz volleyball, nz basketball, and in mainland netball development squad all in one year.

Go for cricket. We already have rugby covered as a nation.

Boshier, 19, captained the New Zealand team at the ICC under-19 World Cup.

Jeez give the kid a break! What he is doing and has already done is remarkable. Try showing and sharing a little compassion rather than trying to bring others down to your level mate.

As he stated, with the way professional sport is now its almost impossible to be a dual All Black as there once was.

NZ International team? i think you mean NZ national team?. He was captain of the U-19 New Zealand cricket team.. im sure thats a national team

I guess time will tell, but he has some work to do to match Jeff Wilson. Wilson first played for the All Blacks at age 20, and also represented NZ cricket in an international, aged either 19 or 20.

This is actually pretty common, a fair number of top rugby players were promising rep cricket players and vice versa as well. Jordie Barrett, Brendan McCullum, etc. Even in lower levels Ive known plenty of people who if they excelled at one sport, they were pretty good at a number of others if they tried their hand at them.

Sophie Devine was in the Black Sticks and the White Ferns, Susie Bates was in the White Ferns and Tall Ferns, a few Tall Ferns were Silver Ferns. Thats just to name a few females who have played in a couple of codes.

And was also a representative basketball player.

you are not from around here are you,lighten up or list your awesome achievements

Tall poppy much! Dont hate him cause you aint him.

And how is Art actually more important? Is Rugby not already a massive part of our culture? hmmm

Just because you havent heard of someone doesnt mean they havent excelled in a number of codes. Im the first to admit that there are many, many more that I havent heard of - and good on them.

If youre partial to T20 cricket there could be a career of easy money in it for you...

I thought we had some Olympic cyclists that won an Americas cup, also a rower who is now a cyclist...The boy looks like he will be an excellent talent but NZ has some ridiculous athletes
