Cricket: Hoggy in the shade.Byline: By Myles Hodgson MATTHEW Hoggard's bid to force his way back into England's Test squad suffered today as he was overshadowed with the new ball for the Lions against New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland. . The Yorkshire seamer, dropped for the final two Tests on England's tour of New Zealand earlier this year, had hoped to break back into the reckoning with a strong performance at The Rose Bowl. But given the new ball as the tourists began their reply to the Lions' first-innings total of 280, Hoggard was outbowled by emerging Durham seamer Graham Onions Graham Onions (born September 9, 1982 in Gateshead) is an English cricketer. He plays for Durham and was named in England's provisional 30 man squad for the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy. He is a right arm medium-fast bowler and a useful lower order batsman. . While Hoggard struggled to cause New Zealand's top order problems, Onions struck with his second ball to remove opener Jamie How Jamie Michael How (b. 19 May, 1981) in Timaru. He is a New Zealand cricketer who scored 58 on his one-day international debut for New Zealand against Sri Lanka in Queenstown. His 68 set up New Zealand's big win over the West Indies in 2006. . Chris Tremlett also claimed a wicket as the tourists reached 38 for two on the second day. Hoggard failed to make the breakthrough during an opening six-over burst for nine runs, but Onions claimed a wicket as How was trapped lbw in his crease. Hampshire fast bowler Tremlett struck in his fifth over with James Marshall (10) steering a short delivery to Luke Wright at short leg. |
