Play washed out

THE first day of the opening cricket test between New Zealand and England was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled in Dunedin yesterday, as offspinner Graeme Swann flies to the United States for surgery. New Zealand won the toss and chose to bowl in heavily overcast conditions before the umpires ruled that the light was not sufficient to allow play to begin on time. Earlier, Swann, 33, was ruled out of the three-test series in New Zealand with an elbow injury with the England team saying he will immediately fly to the US for surgery. Monty Panesar was named in his place.
