In brief

BATESY BOWS OUT Auckland Aces captain Michael Bates is retiring from first-class cricket with Auckland taking home the Plunket Shield. Although the side lost their first game of the season with a four- wicket loss on Saturday to Central Districts, they had done enough to lift the silverware. Suburbs New Lynn Cricket Club stalwart Ian Donnelly says he has enjoyed following fellow club- member Bates’ career, a cricketer that has ‘‘a heart much bigger than Pharlap’’. Bates will now pad up for Suburbs as they attempt to add the national crown to their Jeff Crowe Cup win. The team are representing Auckland in the National Club Cricket Championships this week. The games are held at Cornwall Cricket Club, and first up Suburbs play Manukau City on April 5. The finals will be held on April 10.
