Date-stamped : 14 Dec1998 - 19:33 12 November 1996 Six ducks mar Canterbury innings A Canterbury XI innings that went in fits and starts only real- ised 162 runs on the first day of a two-day cricket match against a Wellington XI at Hagley Oval yesterday. Six Canterbury players made ducks, openers Blair Hartland and Darrin Murray, middle order batsmen Gary Stead and Scott Pawson, and Warren Wisneski and Carl Anderson in the lower order. Pawson and Wisneski fell first ball. The innings had a peculiar symmetry with ducks paired together followed by some useful knocks. The best partnership was for the third wicket between Brad Doody (37) and Craig McMillan (41) who added 83 together after Canterbury was 10 for two. The innings subsided again after their dismissal to 84 for five until newcomer Ryan Roberts (26 not out) and Ben Yock (24) provided some resistance. Roberts was a last-minute re- placement for Craig Cumming who injured a shoulder during the Cricket Max match against Otago. Wellington`s most successful bowlers were recent international Roger Twose with his medium pacers and left-arm spinner Mark Jefferson who captured three wickets apiece. Fast bowler Heath Davis took the wicket of Murray, but then stopped bowling with a leg injury after 1.1 overs. Leading Wel- lington pace bowler Glenn Jonas got injured during the Max series. Canterbury batted 60.1 overs, but did not finish its innings un- til late in the day after rain affected the post-lunch session. Wellington made a brisk start to its innings reaching 20 without loss from four overs, Phil Chandler taking three fours from Shane Bond`s bowling to be unbeaten on 14. The Canterbury team for the opening two Shell Trophy and Cup rounds, before the New Zealand players return, will be named next Thursday. Short scoreboard: Canterbury 162 (C McMillan 41, B Doody 37, extras 31, R Roberts 26 no, B Yock 24; R Twose 3-24, M Jefferson 3-22, D Little 2-46) v Wellington 20-0.
