Grant Bradburn got more good news after it seemed his summer was over yesterday.

First up, he was recalled to the New Zealand Test team for the final National Bank series Test against Pakistan in Hamilton when preferred leg spin bowler Brooke Walker put his shoulder out while bowling in Auckland club cricket yesterday.

Then tonight he was named Northern Districts' cricketer of the year at a special function at WestpacTrust Park in Hamilton.

Bradburn won the Air New Zealand-sponsored award after being ND's top run scorer in the Shell Trophy while also scoring consistently in the Shell Cup.

He was also the most economical Shell Cup bowler for ND and his 24 Trophy wickets were the best by a spinner in the competition.

Included among his achievements was his feat in becoming ND's most capped player, by passing the late Andy Roberts total of 104 games to finish the summer on 107 games.

He passed 4000 first class runs for ND and became the first ND player to take 100 first class catches.

He was also named ND's batsman of the year.

Fellow CLEAR Black Cap Daryl Tuffey was named the ND bowler of the year.
