November 24 ,1976 inLower Hutt ) is a New Zealandcricket er. A wicket-keeper, he played fiveOne Day International s in 2004 afterBrendon McCullum went home fromEngland for theNatWest series.Gareth Hopkins returned to the international scene playing two matches in the
Chappell-Hadlee one day series. The second match of the series and Hopkins' first was heavily rain affected,New Zealand reaching 3/30 when the game came to a close. The second and final match was won byAustralia by a convincing 114 runs, Hopkins contributing 9 off 17 balls.In the summer of 2007/08 he transferred from Otago to Auckland citing the fact that Otago had recruited Brendon McCullum from Canterbury. The move was surprising considering Hopkins scored 5 1st class hundreds for Otago in the summer of 2006/07. Recently Gareth Hopkins played for The New Zealand XI against Bangladesh scoring 12 runs and taking a caught behind.
Hopkins made his test debut on
June 5 2008 against England atTrent Bridge , as usual wicket-keeperBrendon McCullum played in a specialist batsman role. He contributed a total of 27 runs and took 3 catches in New Zealand's innings defeat.External links
