South Wilts captain Tom Morton has become a Honorary Kiwi !
He turned out for New Zealand in yesterday's washed one-day warm-up match against Hampshire - and stole the show !
Morton opened the batting and made an unbeaten 31 of the Black Caps' 48-1 before a cloudburst ended proceedings.
"I was amazed when Nathan McCullum asked me to open the batting.
"Facing Jackson Bird and my South Wilts' team-mate Ryan Duffield was an unreal experience. A new ball Australian State attack.
"But I felt really good and played some nice shots," he said.
St Cross Symondians' Michael Pollard was the Kiwi man out, brilliantly caught one-handed at slip by Joe Gatting off Bird's bowling.
New Zealand are training at the Ageas Bowl in preparation for the start of the One-Day Series which begins at The Oval on Friday June 12.
They have scheduled a second warm-up match against Hampshire seconds on the Nursery Ground on Monday, 11am.
