Otago Sparks

Heavy rain in Dunedin yesterday has made it difficult for Otago Sparks to make the women's one-day cricket final against Auckland.

If Suzie Bates had a lucky pair of batting gloves, they would have to be under lock and key until game day.

If anyone deserves a century in their 100th game, it is Katey Martin.

Some days, Suzie Bates must just wake up and decide she is going to dominate.

Polly Inglis seems destined to shine on the sporting stage - but whether it is in cricket, hockey or football is not yet clear.

The Otago Sparks made an excellent start to the summer with a comprehensive win against Auckland in the opening game of the twenty/20 tournament in Invercargill last night.

Otago Sparks coach Warren Lees has probably seen it all in cricket.

The Otago Sparks bagged their second win in a row with a comprehensive 21-run victory over the Central Hinds at the University Oval yesterday.

A win at last - although it could have not been any closer.

The Otago Sparks crashed to their sixth consecutive loss as the Auckland Hearts cruised to an eight-wicket win in a twenty/20 game at Melville Park yesterday.
