March 1<\/span> (Reuters) – New Zealand batsman Jesse Ryder
\nand paceman Doug Bracewell have been handed one-match bans for
\ngoing out drinking while recovering from injury and being goaded
\ninto a verbal slanging match with a patron at a local pub.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The pair had defied team rules by drinking at a Napier bar
\nafter New Zealand’s one-day international loss to South Africa
\non Wednesday, the team said in a statement.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“They went out after the match, breaking team protocols and
\nas a consequence have compromised their preparation and neither
\nplayer can be considered for the next match,” the statement
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Bracewell had been receiving treatment for a tight
\nhamstring, while Ryder split webbing in his hand during the
\nNapier match.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Caps team manager Mike Sandle said: “… We are
\ndisappointed they became involved in a verbal argument with a
\npatron.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Despite the fact that the players were goaded, and they
\ndidn’t allow the situation to escalate past a short exchange of
\nwords, we expect players to walk away.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Both players have apologised for their actions and said
\nthey fully understood the consequences. They know they have let
\ndown fans and team mates alike.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

New Zealand have lost the first two of the three-match ODI
\nseries against the Proteas. The final match is at Eden Park in
\nAuckland on Saturday before the three-test series begins in
\nDunedin on March 7.<\/p>\n
