Timeline

1950

He is the 50th ODI cap for New Zealand.

1965

Kenneth Robert Rutherford (born 26 October 1965) is a former New Zealand cricketer who enjoyed a ten-year career with the national team, and was captain for a period in the 1990s.

1974

Rutherford's elder brother Ian Rutherford also played first-class cricket as a batsman for Otago from 1974–75 to 1983–84.

1982

The brothers played in the same Otago team in 1982–83 and 1983–84.

He made his debut for Otago in 1982–83 at the age of 17, batting at number six.

1984

He then was granted a scholarship at Lords in 1984.

Following this, Rutherford was selected for the Young New Zealand tour of Zimbabwe.

Opening the batting for Otago in 1984–85 he scored 442 runs at 44.20, including his first century, 130 against Auckland, and he was asked to open the batting for New Zealand in the West Indies at a time when West Indies were at the height of their powers.

Making his debut during New Zealand's tour of the West Indies in 1984–85 at the age of 19, Rutherford played in all four Test matches.

Facing the West Indian pace attack, he endured a difficult time, scoring 0, 0 (run out without facing a ball), 4 (an edge through the slips), 0, 2, 1 and 5 in the series.

Rutherford described that by the time the fourth test arrived "I was devastated emotionally. I couldn't handle the bombardment on the field and felt shell shocked off it".

1985

He was not selected for the tour of Australia in 1985–86, but after scoring 638 runs at 53.16 with three centuries in the Shell Trophy he returned to the Test team when Australia toured New Zealand early in 1986, this time in the middle order, scoring two fifties in the three Tests.

Rutherford was a steady feature of the side after his return.

However he had a habit of not converting fifties into centuries in Test cricket though he clearly had the ability to do so, as shown by his 35 first-class centuries.

He captained New Zealand's team for three years, with two Test wins in 18 attempts in what was a difficult tenure as New Zealand struggled to find a replacement for the retired Richard Hadlee and suffered the decline in power of their only world class batsman, Martin Crowe.

Arguably, Rutherford's greatest success came in One Day Internationals where he won ten matches as captain and made his highest international score, with 108 in a losing cause against India.

1986

Rutherford's highest first-class score of 317, scored playing for a New Zealand touring side against a D.B.Close XI at Scarborough in 1986, achieved several records for New Zealand cricket.

it contained eight sixes and 45 boundary fours, crossing the boundary rope a record 53 times.

The runs were scored in a day – the most runs scored in one day by a New Zealand batsman, and 199 of the runs were scored in one session between lunch and tea.

The match was something of a festival occasion, with some elderly players in the fielding ranks, and Rutherford had not played with great distinction in the test matches.

It is the highest innings in the history of the Scarborough Festival,.

1989

Rutherford's highest score for Otago was 226 not out against India in the 1989/90 season.

1992

He was a member of the New Zealand side which reached the semi-finals of the 1992 World Cup, their 2nd equal best performance in the tournament's history.

With Mike Crean he wrote a book for young cricketers, Ken Rutherford’s Book of Cricket, in 1992.

After retirement from the playing side of the game, he coached the Irish national cricket team.

After coaching the Ireland national team for two years he followed his interest in horse racing, returning home to work as head bookmaker for the New Zealand TAB and then filled a similar role in Singapore.

Back in South Africa he then worked as chief executive of racing broadcaster Tellytrack.

1995

Upon being dropped from the New Zealand team in 1995, Rutherford moved to South Africa, where he played first-class cricket for five seasons, first for Transvaal and then for Gauteng (which replaced Transvaal in 1994), before finally retiring, scoring a duck in his last game.

Rutherford published his autobiography, A Hell of a Way to Make a Living, in 1995.

1997
