New Zealand: Pitch full of runs

The Christchurch Press
6 October 1998



The run-laden Lincoln Green pitch lived up to its reputation as the New Zealand Academy cricket team amassed 342 for six from 69 overs batting against Central Districts. Yesterday was the first day of a two-day match and the Academy's first of its home season.

It made capital on the flat batting surface with openers Lou Vincent and James Marshall leading by example with half centuries in smart time. Vincent's 58 came from 78 balls and Marshall's 52 in 76 balls. The most successful of the Central bowlers were Glen Sulzberger with three for 61 overs and Campbell Furlong two for 80.
