Cricket
AUCKLAND, FEB. 16. New Zealand and Australia will square off in a Twenty20 match on Thursday, using the new rapid-fire form of the game to try and ignite interest in their upcoming series which includes five one-day internationals and three Tests. New Zealand, although ranked second in the world in limited-overs cricket, goes into the series plagued by injuries, while Australia arrives after trouncing Pakistan and the West Indies in a triangular series. Twenty20, though, is ``ideal for marketing the tour and starting the juices flowing,'' former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe wrote in a weekly newspaper column. The new phenomenon in cricket is designed to push people through the turnstiles and hold them for three-hours of non-stop scoring, rather than the day-long, stop-start nature of 50-over one-day cricket where public interest appears to be waning. — AFP
