Cricket Wellington
At just 14 years old, Kate Chandler snared a five-wicket haul for the Wellington Blaze against the Canterbury Magicians in Christchurch on Saturday.
The Canterbury Magicians have been handed their first defeat of this season’s domestic one-day competition thanks to the stunning exploits of Wellington Blaze 14-year-old Kate Chandler. In their round five Hallyburton Johnstone Shield match at Christchurch s Hagley Oval on Saturday, the top of the table Cantabs were hammered by eight wickets after being skittled for 155. That was chiefly thanks to leg-spinner Chandler snaring 5-41 off 9.1 overs, as the hosts collapsed from 117-4 at the 34-over mark, to be all out in 46.1 after being sent in.

Inspired by his heroes
Seth Rance’s one-day highlight for the Central Stags came in his debut against Canterbury at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth in February 2010.
Among his opponents were two of the medium-fast bowler’s heroes, former Black Caps – fast bowler Shane Bond, and all-rounder Chris Harris.
“I grew up a massive fan of Shane Bond and as a bowler tried to base myself around what he did and tried to bowl fast and swing the ball in, and Chris Harris was a major player I looked up to growing up,” he said.
