Day 2: Sri Lanka 'A' vs NZ

Thursday, April 24 2003

The 2nd and final day of the match between Sri Lanka 'A' and New Zealand saw Mark Richardson again get among the runs putting together a good knock of 93 which included 13 boundaries and was scored off 171 balls.

Apart from Richardson there were only a handful of starts though with no one really offering any support. Robbie Hart scored a patient 34 not out to keep the lower order going while Jacob Oram was dismissed for 26. New Zealand were all out for 283.

The kiwis now have a couple of days rest before they play Sri Lanka in the 1st test of the 2 test series.
