Cricket decision
PA Palmerston North Central Districts should keep their 16 points for the outright win in their controversial match against Auckland at Nelson, the New Zealand Cricket Council’s rules sub-committee decided yesterday. The sub-committee’s chairman, Vern Chettleburgh, said yesterday that extensive inquiries had been made with the match umpires, the Central Districts management and Auckland’s captain, Martin Snedden. “The sub-committee be-
lieves that although there are grounds for suspicion, as indicated in the umpires’ report, there is insufficient evidence to prove an agreement was entered into between the Auckland and Central Districts captains.”
The sub-committee recommended no change in points should be made, unless the council decided to hold a formal inquiry, before a recognised legal authority, taking evidence under oath from both captains and umpires, and that inquiry reached a different decision.
