This move guarantees him a spot in the All-Star ODI book cricket XI. The side now reads: Craig Wishart, Nathan Astle, Damien Martyn, Graham Thorpe, Michael Bevan (c), Andy Flower (wk), Chris Cairns, Heath Streak, Phil DeFreitas, Venkatesh Prasad and Allan Donald.
Unfortunately he has not yet confirmed his retirement from book cricket. If he does, then he's assured a spot at the top of the order in the All-Star ODI side. It's arguable whether or not he'd make the Test side ahead of Mark Richardson and Michael Slater. New Zealand haven't had many good openers in recent years, and two of them have now retired!
