Strong Canterbury team for third round game Lynn McConnell - 6 December 2001
Canterbury will field the strongest team possible against Northern Districts in Gisborne for the next round of State Championship play.
The return of New Zealand team members from Australia will boster the side considerably, giving two benefits, one for the Canterbury side to build on its second round victory over Otago this week and two, for the CLEAR Black Caps to keep their form from the Australian series in readiness for the two-Test National Bank series against Bangladesh starting in Hamilton on Tuesday, December 18.
The team is: Gary Stead (captain), Jarrod Englefield, Michael Papps, Aaron Redmond, Chris Harris, Chris Cairns, Nathan Astle, Craig McMillan, Gareth Hopkins, Wade Cornelius, Paul Wiseman, Warren Wisneski, Shane Bond, Chris Martin.
