Our thoughts and wishes to the family and friends of Ann McKenna who passed away this morning.

She played for the St Albans Cricket Club and represented Canterbury from 1961/62 - 1987/88 with a high score of 194* and played 7 Tests for New Zealand with a high score of 97*.

McKenna coached New Zealand at the 1993 and 1997 Women's Cricket World Cups, with the team finishing as runners-up on both occasions.

The Magicians and Blaze will be wearing black armbands today in her memory.
