KEY POINTS:
New Zealanders are more than holding their own at the croquet world championships in Christchurch.
Christchurch world No 2 Chris Clarke and Wellington's Paul Skinley have yet to drop a game after two days of competition. Bob Jackson, of Auckland, and Wanganui's Michael Wright have also won all their games.
Jenny Clarke, of Christchurch, the world's No 1 woman, has seen off all the men she has faced, and Timaru's Peter Landrebe, now living in Australia, has not faltered. The British remain the biggest threat with seven of their players unbeaten so far.
