Cricket: Bradburn stays on at ND

Grant Bradburn will continue to coach the Northern Districts cricket team after replacing Andy Moles in November last year.

Northern chief executive David Cooper today confirmed that Bradburn would continue to coach the side he spent 16 years playing for, in a career that included 18 internationals, 127 first class games and 138 one-day matches.

Moles left Northern Districts to coach the New Zealand cricket team.

Bradburn has coached Northern Districts A for the past four years and has also coached the Cook Islands team in International Cricket Council competitions.

Northern Districts finished fourth in the State Championship four-day cricket competition earlier this year, and won the one-day State Shield final against Otago by 49 runs.
