The Alinghi tactician in 2003, who helped take the America's Cup off his former crewmates for syndicate boss Ernesto Bertarelli, is back for the 37th edition wherever that may be.

They have joined forces with Formula One's Red Bull Racing, fresh from their victory via Max Verstappen in the driver's championship.

Marcus Daniell has joined a tennis "who's who" that have been awarded the ATP governing body's Arthur Ashe Humanitarian award.

The Olympic doubles bronze medalist has received the accolade for his work with High Impact Athletes, a foundation which channels support and donations to the most effective charities.

No play has been possible in the Northern Districts-Central Districts Ford Trophy cricket match as yet due to rain in Hamilton.
