NEW Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder has told well-wishers "I'm okay" three days after suffering severe head injuries in a fight outside a Christchurch bar.
Ryder was moved yesterday from the intensive care ward of Christchurch Hospital to a regular ward as he recovers from a fractured skull and punctured lung. On Saturday, the 28-year-old was brought out of an induced coma and removed from a respirator. In a statement yesterday, Ryder said "I just want to let everyone know that I'm OK. I feel heaps better today but still really tired. I've been reading your messages that have been sent so thank you to everyone for thinking of me over the last few days."
Ryder's manager Aaron Klee said the cricketer had been drowsy but in good spirits since emerging from the coma. Among his first words after regaining consciousness was a joking statement to family members: "get me out of here."
Klee said Ryder had not yet been interviewed by police and had no memory of being assaulted outside a bar in the Christchurch suburb of Merivale about 12.30am on Thursday morning. Ryder had been socializing with members of his Wellington provincial team which had played in a domestic one-day semifinal competition on Wednesday.
His last memory was of making a first-ball duck during that match.
Police have arrested two men, one aged 20 and the other 37.
