Shell Cup, 2nd round, 29 Dec 93
Wellington v Central Districts, Basin Reserve, Wellington.

Mr reliable, Central opener Craig Ingham, was the backbone of his
side's  early innings. At 4-90 CD was in some difficulty, but Rod
Brown finally provided some solid support.  Brown had done little
in his career for Central to date but after Ingham went for 67 he
went some way to justifying the selectors' faith in him by  hold-
ing the lower order together on his way to his first half century
at this level. Duff and  Pawson  both supported  with   twenties,
while 35 extras also made a contribution. Austen took 2-29 from 9
overs.
Wellington slid from 2-54 to 8-129 in the decisive period of  the
innings. At the tail Petrie (27) and fast bowler Heath Davis (21)
had some fun, but Wellington still finished 72  runs short.   The
chief destroyer was Roger Twose, who took 4-25.
