Paul Wiseman capped an amazing week by being called up to New Zealand's side for the final one-day game against the FICA World XI at Hamilton tomorrow, to replace Daniel Vettori, who has suffered a back injury.
On Sunday Wiseman, 34, took 9 for 13 - the second-best figures in any first-class match in New Zealand - as Canterbury overwhelmed Central Districts in Christchurch.
According to the New Zealand Herald, Wiseman's performance was predicted by his sister, Kate. He told Richard Boock: "I caught up with Kate the night before and she actually told me that I'd get nine the next day, which was pretty cool. She follows her cricket very closely."
