Nathan KingOtago Sparks coach Nathan King gave his side two out of three for its effort against Central Districts in Levin on Saturday. Central won the match by 73 runs but an inexperienced Sparks line-up put up a decent fight. The Hinds won the previous game between the teams by more than 200 runs, so the Sparks have certainly made progress. Northern won the match on Saturday by five wickets but Canterbury bounced back to win yesterday's fixture by 29 runs. Wellington dispatched Auckland by 66 runs in game one but was edged by nine runs in the capital yesterday.
