Ian Butler improved his chances of claiming a place as New Zealand's third paceman in next week's Test cricket match against Australia with three wickets here on Friday. The 22-year-old fast bowler, looking to improve on his eight Test appearances, was the tourists' best performer as the Black Caps struggled late on against a modest New South Wales batting line-up.
