    Australia have named a largely unchanged test cricket side, ahead of their tour of New Zealand at the end of the month


    The only addition to the 14-man squad - captained by Pat Cummins - is all-rounder Michael Neser , making his return for the first time since 2022.



    Blenheim teenager Finn McKenzie has raced home in first place into Klondike Corner, on day one of the Coast to Coast's two-day race.

    The teenager - from Blenheim, and a Marlborough Boys' College student - pipped 23-year-old Sam King for line honours today.

    McKenzie is rapt to be holding top spot for the fastest man racing as an individual.
