Canterbury vs Central D, at Blenheim, Feb 17 2001 - Match Result

The last day of the Northern Districts-Otago Shell Trophy match descended into a revolving-door farce as bad light and drizzly rain - and Otago's intention to use up every minute of the day in the search of victory - had the players on and off

A monster second-wicket partnership between Mark Richardson (97) and Craig Cumming, who ended unbeaten on 125, a tea declaration and three wickets in the last session left Otago in firm control of their Shell Trophy match against Northern Districts

Otago took the honours on the scheduled second day of their ninth round Shell Trophy match with Northern Districts, courtesy of a Craig Pryor five-wicket bag and a quality catching performance behind the stumps
