RICHARD HADLEE has won the Winsor Cup, awarded for the outstanding bowler of the cricket season, for the ninth consecutive year. No other New Zealand player comes remotely close to the record of the outstanding fast-medium bowler. Five other bowlers, Jack Cowie, Tom Burtt, Bob Blair, Dick Motz and Richard Collinge, have won the Winsor Cup three times each. Interestingly, all were fast men, with the exception of Burtt, the Canterbury left-arm spjnner . . . . . .AND, for the second successive season, Jeremy Coney has won the Redpath Cup as the country’s top batsman. With his Wellington team-mate, Bruce Edgar, he has shared a monopoly on the award since the 1981-82 season. The record is held by Bert Sutcliffe, with six. CRICKET SPECTATORS who bemoan slow over rates will be pleased to learn that the average number of overs to be bowled in the next first-class season has been raised. At the New Zealand Cricket Council’s board of control meeting in Wellington last week-end, the number to be bowled each hour was lifted from 17 to 18. Two teams were penalised last summer for failing to reach 17 overs an hour, Otago, which lost two points, and Northern Districts, which suffered a one-point loss.
