An Olympian captain

In the Otago Daily Times Adrian Seconi talks to Suzie Bates, who was recently named captain on New Zealand's women's cricket team. Bates represented New Zealand in basketball at the 2008 Olympics but thinks her elevation to leadership means she'll have lesser time for basketball.

"I knew saying yes would mean I couldn't just flitter off to play basketball like I have in the past," Bates said.

"That did come into consideration. Also whether I was ready or not was part of the decision process. But it was too good an opportunity to say no and we'll have to see what happens with basketball."
