Wellington [New Zealand]: Former New Zealand cricket captain and batter Barry Sinclair has died at the age of 85. The former skipper, who died on Sunday, was the third Kiwi batter after Bert Sutcliffe and John R Reid to score 1,000 runs in Test cricket.
Small of stature, stout of heart, and an aesthetically pleasing batsman, Sinclair played 21 Tests for New Zealand between 1963 and 1968, scoring 1148 runs at 29.43, including three centuries - against South Africa, Pakistan and England.
