Hunt for Sutcliffe is far from over

One of New Zealand's greatest cricketers is proving as difficult to shift in death as he was in life.

Attempts to find and relocate the ashes of Bert Sutcliffe, a bowler between 1941 and 1966, have failed because no-one recorded where they had been buried nine years ago. Sutcliffe's ashes were buried at the Carisbrook ground in Dunedin, but none of those who attended the ceremony can agree where the burial had exactly taken place. The ground is being redeveloped and the Sutcliffe family had agreed for the ashes to be relocated to University Oval.
