Lara drops in

Cricket legend Brian Lara was so chuffed with hand-written letters from a group of Central Otago school pupils, he dropped in for an impromptu game of cricket. The West Indian left-hander, in Arrowtown to play in the celebrity golf challenge at the New Zealand Open, surprised teachers and pupils at Arrowtown Primary School with an unannounced visit, batted in an cricket match and hosted a signing session.
