Cricket: Bowler takes five wickets in over

WELLINGTON: A New Zealand-based fast-bowler rewrote the country’s first-class record books yesterday by taking five wickets in a single over without conceding a run. South African-born quick Neil Wagner, playing for Otago, tore through the Wellington batting line up in the last over before lunch during a four-day fixture in Queenstown. Wagner, who reportedly moved to New Zealand in the 2008-09 season, will be eligible to play for the Black Caps next year.
