Left-hand opener George Worker, who spent two summers playing ECB Southern Premier League cricket for the Winchester-based St Cross Symondians in 2009 and again in 2016, top scored in New Zealand's five-wicket win over the West Indies in the opening ODI in Whangarei.
He made 57 and shared a century opening stand with Colin Munro (49) as the Black Caps comfortably chased down the Windies' 248-9 to win with time to spare.
Former South Wilts and Sarisbury Athletic left-hander all-rounder Ryan Burl made 26 and shared a handy partnership with Hamilton Masakdaza before Zimbabwe collapsed from 120-3 to 196 all out against a South Africa Invitation XI, which included Dale Steyn in Paarl.
Temba Bavuma top scored with 70 as SA replied with 287 all out before Zimbabwe closed 120-7 in their second knock, Burl unbeaten with a patient 17.
Pace bowler Sean Jamison, who played for Alton last season, took eight wickets (ironically two 4-33 returns) for Gauteng, who drew their Sunfoil 3-day match with KZ Natal Inland in South Africa. Former Ventnor and Hambledon all-rounder Nono Pongolo also played for Gauteng.
