Having won two excellent examining and competitive matches, Punjab will look to keep their effective durability going when they encounter Sunrisers Hyderabad for their 3rd organize at Sharjah on Wed. At the same time, Hyderabad will be enthusiastic about implementing their first win in this season of the IPL.<br /><br />Team Punjab is looking highly effective with verified players such as Glenn Maxwell, Bob Burns and Gretchen Bailey. The Miller-Maxwell several has followed down huge goals with comfort. A amazing impact 95 and 54 against Chennai by Maxwell and Burns respectively verified their awesome reaching style. Maxwell’s awesome impact of 89 off 45 paintballs against Rajasthan has acquired much enhance.<br />

<br />If Punjab is regularly on the put up awesome actions like these, it will soon become the most recommended number of IPL 2014. However, it will be amazing to see Punjab’s top buy execute in scenario the middle buy is not able. Punjab’s go-karting has not been in the highlight due to some amazing reaching actions. Mitchell Brownish, Parvinder Awana and Laxmipathy Balaji have not done much. The rewriters too, have not come up with an excellent performance as yet.<br /><br />Hyderabad’s key problem is their reaching business presentation. They have reliable a few players such as Aaron Finch, Bob Warner and Shikhar Dhawan. Hyderabad will be looking for their middle and decreased buy batsmen to execute a significant aspect as well. Darren Sammy is an essential decreased buy batsman and he will be responsible to complete the job.<br /><br />With Amit Mishra, Dale Steyn and Bhuveneshwar Kumar, Hyderabad has an excellent go-karting variety up. It will be valuable if Ishant Sharma and Karn Sharma start selecting up wickets too.<br /><br />Hyderabad will be anxious for their bowlers to organize the aspects of their batsmen to be able to quit Punjab from obtaining a hat-trick win in IPL7.</div>

The IPL 2014 Routine has been launched in two areas. First, the agenda for the UAE leg was published and then, after a couple of several weeks, the schedule of the Indian leg was published. So, that might have designed a bit of misunderstandings among the individuals. If you are also one of those individuals, don't fear. Here at our web page, you would get the complete IPL 7 schedule.<br />

<span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em; text-align: left;">Two wickets in as many balls from Stuart Broad during the final session of play today has put England on top after two days of the second cricket test against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The tall seamer sent Kiwi opener Hamish Rutherford and Ross Taylor back to the pavilion with consecutive deliveries late this afternoon as the visitors took hold of the match in the blink of an eye.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
New Zealand were in the midst of making a steady start to their first innings following the early departure of Peter Fulton (1) before Broad worked his magic when the home side had only 48 runs on the board.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Rutherford (23) looked as though he wanted to pick up from where he left off following his debut hundred in the drawn first test in Dunedin last week as he started well.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He took a ball on the body early from Steve Finn but generally looked assured at the crease before he edged a delivery through to England captain Alastair Cook who made no mistake at first slip.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Former New Zealand skipper Ross Taylor then entered an overcast Basin Reserve to a rousing reception - as he has all summer - but only lasted a solitary delivery as he had his off stump disturbed by a rampant Broad.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
That left New Zealand's innings in tatters and Cantabrian Dean Brownlie survived the hat-trick ball with a nice clip off his pads through mid-wicket for two runs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
With the light dimming New Zealand closed the day 10 minutes ahead of schedule on 66-3 with Brownlie at the crease on eight alongside the rock-solid Kane Williamson who was unbeaten on 32.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Williamson's last innings in New Zealand colours at the Basin brought about a fighting century against South Africa last summer and Black Caps coach Mike Hesson would love to see something of a similar ilk from the slightly-built Northern Districts No 3 tomorrow. (sat)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The Kiwis will have to produce an impressive batting display during the weekend to give themselves a chance of staying in the match.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Earlier in the day, England were eventually bowled out for 465 in their first innings just before the tea break.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
England began the morning on 267-2 but lost century-maker Jonathan Trott for 121 as he was caught behind from the bowling of Trent Boult without adding to his overnight score.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
From there wickets fell regularly but Kevin Pietersen (73) and Matt Prior (82) ensured England put on a more than respectable total.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Prior was particularly aggressive after lunch and scored his runs at a decent clip while Pietersen failed to completely assert himself at the crease.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Left-arm twirler Bruce Martin finished England's innings with 4-130 as the 32-year-old, who is playing in only his second test, wheeled down 48 overs during a marathon stint at the crease.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Martin was well assisted by paceman Neil Wagner who picked up 2-122 from 33 overs, while Trent Boult claimed 2-117 from 30 overs and Williamson chipped in with 2-16 with his part-time off-spinners.</div>

</div>
He has the surname and the skills to back it up.<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
But Otago Boys' High School pupil Declan Su'a is definitely no relation of his famous namesake, Murphy Su'a.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
And, unlike the much-maligned former New Zealand left-armer, Declan has attracted attention for positive reasons.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The 14-year-old right-arm seamer took nine wickets for eight runs in an innings during an interschool game against Southland Boys' High School at Bishopscourt on Thursday.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
To recap - that's nine wickets, eight runs. Who does that?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Earlier in the game, he swatted 74 runs to help set up his side win by an innings and 133 runs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He got some of his scalps by coming around the wicket and targeting leg stump.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''I hit leg stump a few times by swinging it in and coming around the wicket and bowling at their feet,'' Declan said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''There were a lot of high fives.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Declan is hoping his form continues at the New Zealand Community Trust junior secondary school tournament in Palmerston North next week.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Otago Boys' is the defending champion and hopes to do well.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
For the record, Murphy Su'a's test record is much better than you might think. He took 36 wickets in 13 tests, including two five-wicket bags.</div>

Cricket: Coach keen for Otago to finish well</h1>
<div class="breadcrumb" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; color: #237fb3; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.796875px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em;">Mathematicians might argue the point but Otago coach Vaughn Johnson has abandoned hope his side will make the playoffs of the one-day tournament.</span></div>
<div class="node sticky" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.796875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="content" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.7em; padding: 0px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
With just one win from six games, the team is now focused on performing well in its last two fixtures - the first of which is against Canterbury at the University Oval tomorrow.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''If Wellington don't do anything and we pick up maximum points from our last two games then we might creep in,'' Johnson said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''Look, I think you have to be realistic, I don't think there is any chance, really.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''But we want to finish the season strongly. The Otago public need to see the team still has character and still got all those things which we displayed all season.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''We haven't been able to qualify for the playoffs but, if we look back, the sporting public and Otago cricket should be very proud of what this team has achieved. It would be nice to go out on a winning note rather than just drifting through the competition.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
While Otago has had a disappointing one-day campaign, the team burned up plenty of mental energy during its successful twenty/20 campaign and efforts to win the Plunket Shield.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The team has also had to make do without the likes of Hamish Rutherford, Neil Wagner and Ian Butler, who have been on national duty.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Despite those setbacks, Otago has still been able to field some strong sides but the performances have lacked the lustre of the earlier efforts in the summer, Johnson said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''I don't think we've played particularly good cricket. We've seemed to bat well in one game and not so well in another. Then we'd bowled well and not so well in other games.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''Obviously, when you lose three or four players to the Black Caps ... it does test your resources a little bit.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''There was a lot of pressure on, and the players did exert a lot of energy ... during a hectic and tiring [HRV Cup] campaign. We were also involved for all 10 rounds of the Plunket Shield, and to be up for 40 days of cricket made for a long campaign.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The team has had 70 nights away from Dunedin and signs the team was starting to fade were there to see on the last day of the Plunket Shield, when Otago was dismissed for 145 chasing 200 for victory against Wellington.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Had Otago reached the target it may have been enough to add the Plunket Shield to its twenty/20 title.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Otago has made two changes from the team which lost to Northern Districts by 92 runs in Mt Maunganui on Wednesday. Ian Butler returns from international duty and Sam Blakely has been included. All-rounder Iain Robertson and spinner Mark Craig drop out of the 12.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
With little but pride at stake, the time might be right to blood Blakely, a 19-year-old right-arm seamer from the North East Valley club.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Bruce Martin has waited 13 years for his chance to prove he can foot it on the biggest stage.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
So when he induced a false shot from one of the game's batting giants at the Basin Reserve yesterday, you can imagine the inner yelp of delight mixed with a healthy dose of justification.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Kevin Pietersen had taken him on, looking to take charge. Martin's left arm spin nagged away. Occasionally Pietersen, or others, succeeded. But when Pietersen holed out to deep mid-off at 73, Martin had his man.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He finished with four for 130 off 48 overs but you sensed one wicket had him purring more than the others.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"He's a big player and it's nice to test yourself against a guy like that," Martin said last night.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"He's pretty ruthless the way he can get forward and get back. He's such a big fella I was finding it hard to get past him at times, he's such an imposing figure with the bat.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"I wanted to try and get in the fight a little bit and get in front of him and let him know I was there. I was happy to pick him up in the end."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Martin was 12th man against Australia in his first season with Northern Districts as a 19-year-old, then ... nothing.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Dan Vettori was already there and there weren't many occasions when a second spinner was deemed necessary. When it was, "Bucko" was down the list.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"Everything seems to be going well," he said of his first three test innings, which have produced nine wickets. "I've had 13 years to visualise playing test cricket. I've been playing this test cricket for a long time in my head, so it's nice to get out there and have a crack."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Vettori had sent him messages of encouragement. Their actions are similar. Both ND men, they went through academies together.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"It's just how I bowl," he said. "I just happen to look a bit like him, without the glasses."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
You could say he has had time to prepare for this series and all it would entail in terms of the lift in intensity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"I've played 115-odd games so I've played against some pretty good players over the years.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"It's just blocking out the noise of the crowd and all that other stuff you think about. It's just another game against players that are a little bit more patient and a little bit better than what you're used to."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Worth the 13-year wait and those feelings that maybe his time might never come?</div>
</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
A character examination lies ahead for New Zealand's batsmen at the Basin Reserve today.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
On what is shaping as the pivotal third day of the second test, England made a serious incision in the final hour yesterday in fading light to have New Zealand 66 for three, in reply to their solid first innings 465.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Losing opener Peter Fulton, pushing away at a short ball from Jimmy Anderson to be caught at first slip was one thing; having Hamish Rutherford and Ross Taylor depart in consecutive balls was quite another.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The follow-on mark is still 200 runs away. England's tails are up, the game is afoot and New Zealand will need to be smart and resourceful today.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Where New Zealand's seamers had struggled to trouble England's batsmen for large chunks of their innings, the extra pace and bounce of Steven Finn, the precision, aggression and smarts of Anderson and Stuart Broad was in marked contrast.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Rutherford got a working over, from Finn in particular, over his 94 minutes at the crease. He seemed to have got through the initial challenge, only to drive at a delivery from Broad to give Alastair Cook a second catch at first slip.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Taylor got a good ball, which straightened on him just enough to beat the stroke. It was Taylor's second golden duck in his 45th test and put the skids under New Zealand.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The light had become gloomy, Taylor's eyes perhaps hadn't adjusted. It was an important moment. The first test at Dunedin showed that there is more to New Zealand's batting than their No 1 batsman.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
However when he misses out, questions still linger over how New Zealand will compensate. Today will help give an answer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Dean Brownlie survived the hat-trick delivery, accompanied by four slips and two gullies, and much depends on how he and Kane Williamson, who was watchful and looked in decent touch over 108 minutes, get through this morning.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Earlier New Zealand's bowlers had more to enjoy than a day earlier.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
They took England's last eight wickets for 198 although the circumstances were different, England looking to press on from the foundation of day one.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
No one enjoyed it more than the left arm spinner Bruce Martin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He enjoyed a decent duel with England's cavalier-in-chief Kevin Pietersen, who has a history of issues against left arm spinners.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Pietersen determined to dictate from the off, sending Martin's first ball of the day for six. However Martin stuck at it, had the tall righthander in a pickle once or twice and got his reward when Fulton pouched a catch at deep mid off.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The quick departure of Ian Bell and Joe Root in the space of four Martin overs briefly looked to have undermined the first day's work, however Matt Prior isn't rated the most proficient No 7 wicketkeeper-batsman for laughs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
His 82 off 99 balls - twice banging seamer Neil Wagner for six down the ground - was just the ticket for England. His standing ovation, both for the innings and the impetus it injected into England's situation was well justified.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Martin didn't get that kind of recognition from the crowd, but he's now taken nine wickets in his first three test innings.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He would have had a prized five wickets, but for Prior surviving an lbw decision on a referral.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The 32-year-old has his detractors, who wonder whether he has true test class about him. But Martin got some turn, plugged away determinedly through 48 overs, conceded less than three runs an over, and numbers do talk.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Martin's had a long wait, this being his 14th first-class season. He's fully entitled to savour the moment.</div>

Peter Fulton and Kane Williamson guided New Zealand through to 77 for one in their second innings at the close of play on the third day of the second test at the Basin Reserve though England were firmly in control of the match.<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Fulton was on 41 while Williamson was 16 not out as the hosts were still 134 runs from making England bat again and needing the rain predicted for late on Sunday to arrive earlier than expected to save the match.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
While showers are predicted late on the fourth day, New Zealand's MetService has forecast persistent rain for the Wellington region throughout Monday.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
England captain Alastair Cook had enforced the follow-on after bowling New Zealand out for 254 shortly before tea, with the hosts 12 runs short of the required target to put the tourists back in to bat and well adrift of England's 465.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Stuart Broad had rattled through New Zealand's lower order with figures of six for 51 and Bruce Martin was left stranded on 21 not out before Cook enforced the follow on at tea.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"It's not often enforced to be honest because the bowlers tend to like a bit of a rest and it's good to get their batsmen back out in the field and build a big lead with scoreboard pressure," Broad told reporters of the reasoning behind enforcing the follow on.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"With the weather around it's unsure how much cricket will be left in the next two days, that was the only reason behind it."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
INTENSE PRESSURE</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The hosts began their second innings under intense pressure from Broad and James Anderson but left-arm spinner Monty Panesar got the only breakthrough when Hamish Rutherford was brilliantly caught by a diving Ian Bell at leg slip for 15.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Fulton and Williamson, however, survived through to stumps to ensure the game went into a fourth day and gave local fans a slim hope of the team salvaging a weather-influenced draw, though New Zealand wicketkeeper BJ Watling said his side still felt they could pull out an improbable victory.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"Their bowlers have bowled quite a lot of overs now so the longer we keep them out there hopefully they get tired and start loosening up and giving us balls to put away and then we can put pressure back on them," Watling said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"The wicket's a good track. I think we are obviously disappointed with our first innings effort. We needed 350 at least on that so if we can rectify ourselves in the second innings and put them under a bit of pressure (by scoring) 350-400, a lead of 200 on this track could be defendable."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
New Zealand had looked like they could avoid the follow on at lunch with Brendon McCullum in an obstreperous mood, having reached his 27th test half century shortly before the break.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The New Zealand captain quickly advanced to 69 before Steven Finn got some extra bounce, caught the outside edge of the bat and Jonathan Trott took a simple catch at second slip.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
McCullum's dismissal, immediately after he and Watling had brought up their 100-run partnership, left New Zealand on 189 for six.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
A reckless shot from Tim Southee, who inexplicably fell into the trap set for him by hooking a short Finn delivery directly to Broad at fine leg for three, left the hosts on 197-7 and teetering on the brink of total collapse.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Watling upped his scoring rate after Southee's dismissal and brought up his fourth test half century with a punch in front of point off Finn for two runs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He was supported by Martin in a 42-run partnership before the second new ball ended their resistance when Watling (60) feathered a catch to Matt Prior off Broad.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Neil Wagner became Broad's fifth victim when he fell in exactly the same manner for a 13-ball duck, then the tall fast bowler snared Trent Boult for two to finish with his third-best career figures.</div>

All eyes now turn to Eden Park and the deciding third test between England and New Zealand after the second match was washed out at the Basin Reserve today.<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Overnight and morning rain ruined prospects of England pushing on for victory, after the first test in Dunedin was drawn.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
New Zealand were 162 for two in their second innings at the end of the match, still trailing England by 49 runs overall.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The final test starts in Auckland on Friday and has become, as England's bowling coach David Saker put it yesterday, effectively a cup final.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
When the series began, England, ranked No 2 in the test game, were expected to be too strong across all departments for No 8-ranked New Zealand.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
However the hosts had much the better of the opening test in the ANZ international series; by contrast England were the dominant team in Wellington.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The last test in Auckland between the teams, in March 2002, and also a final test of the rubber, produced a series-levelling 76-run win for New Zealand.</div>

<b>University-Grange 185/9 beat Carisbrook-Dunedin 183 by one wicket</b></div>

University-Grange and Carisbrook-Dunedin had an epic battle in the penultimate round of the Dunedin senior competition on Saturday.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
University-Grange had plenty of overs in hand as it chased down a target of 184, but eventually it scraped home with just a wicket to spare.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Earlier, Sean Eathorne hit a gallant 50 to steer Carisbrook-Dunedin to a competent total, which at times looked like it would be enough.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Cam Rutherford (three for 50) and Michael Haddleton (four for 61) were the pick of the bowlers for University-Grange, collecting some key wickets.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
In response, Grange batted with perseverance, but lost wickets at regular intervals to set up a tight finish.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Steve Jakeway (41 not out) top scored but with some low scores by his counterparts, the side was 12 runs shy of victory when its ninth wicket fell. Jakeway kept his cool, scoring all of his side's last 13 runs to get it home.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">

Green Island, which wrapped up the Bing Harris Trophy two weeks ago, continued its dominance by beating Albion.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The Albion batsmen struggled to contain the vaunted Green Island bowling attack, losing key wickets in quick succession, to be all out for 133 inside 37 overs.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Mark Craig (47) top scored for Albion, with modest contributions from Sam Ward (21) and Greg Knowles (20).</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Green Island started slowly in reply, and at 39 for three, the match was arguably in the balance.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Good bowling by Knowles (four for 38) restricted the Green Island line-up, but with Scott Simpson (48) and Henry Blackwell (32) contributing, the side reached the total inside 25 overs to put an early finish to the match.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">

Taieri's strong form continued as the side scored the most runs by any team on Saturday with 222.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Ash Simpson (79) and Corey Hart (56) put on a 105-run partnership for the second wicket to set the base for the total.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
North East Valley bowler Simon Murley had his best performance of the season with the ball, collecting six wickets for 67 runs from 22 overs.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
However, the other bowlers struggled to contain the Taieri batsmen, leaving Murley's team with a daunting chase.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
North East Valley started well, scoring 41 runs before losing its first wicket, but with young Taieri bowler Jack Hunter performing strongly (four for 48), Valley stumbled to lose quick wickets and be all out for 135 inside 33 overs.</div>

Sam Blakely completed a special day for his family when he made his debut for Otago in a one-day game against Canterbury yesterday.<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He is the third member of his immediate family to play cricket for the province. And before the Ford Trophy match was abandoned due to poor weather, the North East Valley right-arm seamer picked up two wickets.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
His father, Geoff Blakely, was watching from the sidelines at the University Oval. Thirty-three years earlier, Geoff made his first-class debut for Otago, and Sam's sister, 17-year-old Caitlin, made her debut for the Otago Sparks this summer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Otago cricket historian Dave Richmond was uncertain whether it was the first time a father-son-daughter combination had represented the province but thought it was ''possibly unique''.</div>

A couple of seasons ago, all three Blakelys played in a club game for Gimmerburn - surely that is a first. Either way, it is a mighty feat.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''My parents said they would not miss my debut,'' Sam said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''They were pretty proud. They have put a lot of time into me and been there through everything, really.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
With Geoff being an opening batsman, it seemed plausible Sam developed as a bowler heaving down deliveries to his father in the back yard. But he actually started out as a batsman.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''It wasn't until I got a bit taller at about 12 or 13 that I started bowling a bit more. I slowly got chucked down the batting order and up the bowling order.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The strapping 19-year-old is also a handy rugby player. A No8, he played ''a couple'' of senior club games for Kaikorai and is not planning on giving the winter code away yet. Cricket is his first love and his ''best-case scenario'' is to pick up an Otago cricket contract next summer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''Eventually the choice is made for you because the seasons overlap so much that you can't juggle two at once. You have to go one way or the other.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Blakely has been part of the wider training group this season and when he got the news he would make his debut, he got very excited.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''I couldn't wait. It is a dream come true. I spent most of my childhood watching half these boys like Redders [Aaron Redmond] and Nath [Nathan McCullum] play.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
His first over did not go exactly to plan. Fringe Black Cap Rob Nicol gave the youngster a brutal welcome, smashing one of the biggest sixes struck at the venue. The ball came to a rest on the 22m of the rugby field behind the media centre.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
''You try not to worry but it is always pretty disheartening to watch the ball sail back over your head and the media box for six. You just try and clear your head and get back to your mark and try and get him out with the next ball.''</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The bowler had his revenge, though. Nicol hit a drive, only for Michael Bracewell to pluck the ball out of the air at a short cover position. More good news awaited Blakely when Tom Latham got a nick and the keeper took a nice tumbling catch.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
When the players were forced from the field, Blakely had two for 57 from 9.5 overs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Ian Butler got the initial breakthrough when he trapped Brad Cachopa for two. Having slumped to 35 for three, and then 84 for four, the visitors rallied through George Worker (73 not out) and Shanan Stewart (38 not out) to be 159 for four after 39.5 overs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Both sides pick up two points, but Otago needed the four points for the win to keep its slim playoff prospects alive. Its final one-dayer is against Auckland at the University Oval on Wednesday.</div>

Cricket: England hit out at lifeless Test pitches</h1>
<div class="node sticky" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.796875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="content" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.7em; padding: 0px;">
<div id="sharethis_buttons" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Frustrated England have taken a swipe at the docile pitches used for the first two Tests in New Zealand.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
A draw looms in the the second Test at Wellington going into the final day on Monday, which would match the result of the series opener in Dunedin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Just 35 overs were possible on the fourth day due to rain as New Zealand reached 2-162.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
They trail by 49 runs after following on, with Kane Williamson (55) and Ross Taylor (41) having shared an unbroken third-wicket stand of 81.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The likelihood of more rain, allied with the dead nature of the wicket means England will struggle to capitalise on their dominance, leaving the series locked at 0-0 going into a decider at Auckland's Eden Park starting on Friday.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The lifeless Basin Reserve track drew the ire of England bowling coach David Saker, who said it mirrored Dunedin's University Oval for its lack of assistance to the bowlers.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"For the spectacle of Test cricket, this isn't the greatest way," he said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"Anyone watching the game wants to see the ball bounce through and sometimes it's a bit frustrating for the spectators."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"You have to mainly prepare for batsman error - and you have to be really patient with where you bowl and hope to build enough pressure so that he does make that mistake."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Saker said the Twenty20 and one-day international series between the teams last month were played on pitches with ample carry.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He wasn't sure if New Zealand Cricket had ordered the pitches be slowed down for the Tests or if it was the nature of the wicket blocks.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Either way, he believed the respective merits of world No.2 ranked Test nation England and No.8 New Zealand had been levelled out.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"This makes it really hard for both batsmen to score and bowlers to prise their wickets out."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Three of the last four Tests at University Oval have been drawn while the Basin Reserve is poised to host a third straight stalemate.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
There has been a result in the last six Tests at Eden Park, the most recent of which was seven years ago.</div>

All eyes now turn to Eden Park and the deciding third test between England and New Zealand after the second match was washed out at the Basin Reserve today.<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Overnight and morning rain ruined prospects of England pushing on for victory, after the first test in Dunedin was drawn.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
New Zealand were 162 for two in their second innings at the end of the match, still trailing England by 49 runs overall.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The final test starts in Auckland on Friday and has become, as England's bowling coach David Saker put it yesterday, effectively a cup final.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
When the series began, England, ranked No 2 in the test game, were expected to be too strong across all departments for No 8-ranked New Zealand.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
However the hosts had much the better of the opening test in the ANZ international series; by contrast England were the dominant team in Wellington.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The last test in Auckland between the teams, in March 2002, and also a final test of the rubber, produced a series-levelling 76-run win for New Zealand.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The third test begins on Friday.</div>

Cricket: Bracewell set for test return</h1>
<div class="node sticky" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.796875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="content" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.7em; padding: 0px;">
<div id="sharethis_buttons" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em; text-align: left;">Fast bowler Doug Bracewell will be added to the Black Caps squad for the third ANZ test starting in Auckland on Friday if he gets through tomorrow's Ford Trophy match unscathed.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The 22-year-old missed the first two tests after he cut his right foot on some glass while cleaning up after a party at his Napier home on the eve of the opening test.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
His recovery will be tested during the Central Stags clash with the Canterbury Wizards in Christchurch tomorrow before he is confirmed in the squad for the deciding test at Eden Park.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Bracewell and the two squad members who haven't played in the test series so far - Ian Butler and Tom Latham - will all feature in Ford Trophy cricket tomorrow before they join the squad in Auckland.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Black Caps head coach Mike Hesson says it's pleasing to have Bracewell available for selection after the unfortunate injury that saw him miss the first two tests.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"Doug's availability creates a real battle for spots for this deciding ANZ test against England.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
It also helps to manage the workload for a group of bowlers who have carried a heavy load during the first two tests."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"We'll be keenly watching how he performs in the Ford Trophy tomorrow and how his foot comes through the game."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Black Caps squad for third test:<br />Brendon McCullum (c), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, (pending getting through Ford Trophy match tomorrow), Dean Brownlie, Ian Butler, Peter Fulton, Tom Latham, Bruce Martin, Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson.</div>

Cricket: NZ hope it's third time lucky in decider</h1>
<div class="breadcrumb" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; color: #237fb3; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.796875px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em;">New Zealand hope they can nail a series-decider against England on the third attempt as they head to Auckland's Eden Park for the final Test starting on Friday.</span></div>
<div class="node sticky" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.796875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="content" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.7em; padding: 0px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The tourists won the Twenty20 and one-day international series last month by a 2-1 margin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
On both occasions the respective series were tied at 1-1 but England stepped up a level to dominate the third match.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum says a different dynamic in the Test series - locked at 0-0 after rain-affected draws in Dunedin in Wellington - left him optimistic there would be no repeat of the short form outcomes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"We didn't stand up, didn't perform that well and I thought England were excellent in both those deciding games," McCullum said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"We were a little bit off which was disappointing when you've got a series on the line.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"There's a few nuances within our team setup which have changed things. And five-day cricket is different from a one-off day as well."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
McCullum said a Test series win over world No.2-ranked England would be a personal career highlight.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The fact the series has been evenly-fought indicates New Zealand have made good strides since their Test hammerings in South Africa two months ago, he said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"I think we're learning a lot about ourselves and where we actually are at in terms of our game.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"But we know that the third Test will be what we'll be decided on."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
McCullum indicated he will send England in to bat for a third straight time if successful with the toss.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
However, he needs to first inspect an Eden Park pitch which is likely to be the quickest of the series.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
England skipper Alastair Cook says his team will take a patient approach when pushing for the series win which was widely anticipated two weeks ago.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"If you start chasing the game from the first day then you can come unstuck," Cook said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"You need to earn the right to get yourself into position to win the game."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
"If you get five days of good weather in a test match it's normally good enough to get a result."</div>

Otago is determined to complete the summer on a high with a win against Auckland in a one-day game at the University Oval today.<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Win or lose, though, the team will be able to reflect on a magic season - perhaps its best since 1987-88, when Otago won both the one-day and first-class competitions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The highlight, of course, was winning 10 consecutive twenty/20 matches to win the HRV Cup.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
There was also a 12-game winning streak in the Plunket Shield, probably an Otago record, according to local statistician Dave Richmond. The Volts were in with a great chance of winning the shield and completing a rare double. Gunning for their 13th win in a row, they came unstuck on the last day against Wellington at the Basin Reserve. Chasing 200 for victory, they were bowled out for 145. It was a disappointing end but the only real blot on a tidy copybook.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The team had used up most of its energy reserves and struggled in the one-day tournament. With just one win from six completed matches, it has not been the finale the team was hoping for.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
But, in a wider context, it is almost an acceptable failure, perhaps even predictable, given how much the team put into earlier campaigns.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Otago has perhaps relied on a few class players to pull through in the past and this team certainly had those types of players. But this season, everybody seemed to find a way to contribute.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
There were some great stories. Opener Aaron Redmond rediscovered his touch in a big way.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
He was the leading scorer in the Plunket Shield with 941 runs at an average of 55.35. Contrast that with the 157 runs at 14.27 he scored last summer and you begin to understand just how much he turned his performances around.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
His first-class haul is the second-highest season tally for an Otago batsman. Otago great Glenn Turner holds the record with 1027 runs in 1975-76.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Fellow opener Hamish Rutherford supplied another feel-good story. In February last year, he was working in a coffee shop waiting for another opportunity to play first-class cricket for the province. Earlier this month, he scored 171 on test debut.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Black Caps fans everywhere are hoping he is a long-term answer to long-term problem at the top of the order.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Left-arm spinner Nick Beard was outstanding in the twenty/20 tournament and was the joint leading wicket-taker with young Otago fast bowler Jacob Duffy. The pair combined to take 30 wickets.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Beard also demonstrated his skills with the bat when he scored 188 after going in as a night watchman for Otago in a first-class game against Auckland.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Michael Bracewell (190) and Neil Broom (134) shared in an Otago record partnership for all wickets against Wellington of 291 runs. That stand formed the backbone of an Otago record total of 651.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Ian Butler, who at one stage had given up on the idea of playing test cricket again because of a serious back injury, was recalled to the test squad. And Neil Wagner, who had a tough introduction to test cricket, put in solid performances in the first two tests against England.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Dutch international Ryan ten Doeschate was outstanding for Otago in the HRV Cup. He was the second-leading scorer in the competition with 401 runs at an average of 50.12. He also scored a century for Otago in his only first-class game for the province.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Fellow import James Fuller also made an impact with 13 twenty/20 wickets and he starred in a massive innings and 240-run win against Wellington, with 10 wickets in the match.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
