Anton Devcich, a left-handed batsman occasionally bowling left-arm orthodox spin, started off as a number 10 batsman eventually moving to the number three position. Devcich began his cricketing career representing New Zealand in the U19 World Cup of 2004. He made his first-class debut a year later starting off as a specialist bowler. He did not pick up any wickets, instead impressed everyone by scoring an unbeaten 94 at number 9. He played three more matches in his debut season but was not able to recreate the magic of his first game.
