    Edwards, who played eight tests and six one-dayers, was famous for his big-hitting ability in the 1970s and 80s.

    Edwards was 64.



    Lewis Clareburt is missing the water.

    The kiwi swimmer is able to keep fit while in lockdown with running, rowing and weights, but has no access to a pool.

    Clareburt says he can't wait to go for a dip.



    Plans continue for the Auckland Tuatara's third Australian baseball league season, despite the world's turmoil.

    Manager Steve Mintz has re-signed for another campaign.



    Sydney Roosters Coach Trent Robinson is confident the NRL can return in June.

    He says his players would be ready to play with two week's notice, if the game resumes then.
