NZ's Ryder, Bracewell banned over drinking

NEW Zealand has suspended batsman Jesse Ryder and fast bowler Doug Bracewell for one match for breaching team rules on drinking alcohol.

In a statement issued yesterday, New Zealand Cricket said they will miss tomorrow's third one-day international against South Africa because they drank at a Napier hotel following Wednesday's second one-dayer, breaching rules which prohibit injured players from drinking. Bracewell has a strained hamstring and Ryder a minor hand injury. The statement said the players also responded verbally to taunts from a member of the public. New Zealand team manager Mike Sadle said both players had apologized. New Zealand has lost the first two matches of the series.
