Cricket: Long run-up for Tuffey

Daryl Tuffey's long road back to international cricket takes another small step in Sydney tomorrow.

The former New Zealand test opening bowler, 28, will take the new ball alongside Australian paceman Glenn McGrath for Sydney club Sutherland in their two-day match against Mosman.

In last weekend's season-opening one-day match, Tuffey opened the bowling and took one for 38 off 10 overs against Fairfield-Liverpool.

Tuffey hasn't played for New Zealand since the game again Australia in February last year at Eden Park.
