<strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> A in Zimbabwe<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> A travelled to Zimbabwe in October <strong>2010</strong> for three fourday<br />

First-Class matches against Zimbabwe A at Harere and won the<br />

series, 2-0. After the first match was drawn, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> A convincingly<br />

won the next two, by 10 wickets and nine wickets, respectively.<br />

Daniel Flynn, with 167 in the first innings, and James Franklin, with an<br />

unbeaten 107 in the second innings, posted centuries in game one,<br />

while Jamie How struck 115 and Gareth Hopkins hit an unbeaten 100<br />

in game two. Franklin bagged five wickets in the first innings and Brent<br />

Arnel had a career-best eight for 81 in the second.<br />

Zimbabwe A failed to reach 200 in either innings in the final game with<br />

Arnel again among the wickets, ending the series with 13 at an average<br />

of 18.53.<br />

White Ferns<br />

Fortunes did not favour the White Ferns in the <strong>2010</strong>-11 season, with the<br />

fourth. England beat Australia in the ODI final by 34 runs.<br />

White Ferns in Rose Bowl Series<br />

The White Ferns were unable to lift the Rose Bowl from Australia in a<br />

series comprising five Twenty20 matches in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> and three ODIs<br />

in Australia. The honours were shared, 2-2, in the Twenty20 series in<br />

February after the opening game was washed out.<br />

The side were set to play the first of three One-Day Internationals at<br />

the Bert Sutcliffe Oval at Lincoln on 24 February, two days after the<br />

earthquake struck with those matches rescheduled for late in the year.<br />

The series resumed in Brisbane in June with the first game again<br />

abandoned because of rain, but Australia took a 3-2 lead by winning the<br />

second ODI by six wickets and wrapped the series up, 4-2, with a 19-run<br />

victory in the final game.<br />

Sara McGlashan, with 62 off 50 balls, in the fourth Twenty20, helped<br />

give the White Ferns a 2-1 series lead after Australia had won the<br />
