He attended [Palmerston North Boys' High School](/source/Palmerston_North_Boys'_High_School).[1] In New Zealand domestic cricket, he played for and captained [Central Districts](/source/Central_Districts_Stags). How is a steady scoring, right-handed opening batsman and occasional off-spin bowler. He made his first-class debut in 2000–2001 and his international debut in 2005–2006. ## Domestic career In 2013, in a [List A](/source/List_A) match against [Northern Districts](/source/Northern_Districts_men's_cricket_team), How scored 222 from 138 deliveries, becoming the [second-equal highest scorer](/source/List_of_List_A_cricket_records) ever in List A cricket history.[2] ## International career How forced his way into international contention through a series of good seasons for Central Districts. He made his international debut in a One Day International match against [Sri Lanka](/source/Sri_Lanka_national_cricket_team) in [Queenstown](/source/Queenstown%2C_New_Zealand) on 31 December 2005.[3] How scored a brilliant 116-ball 139, his maiden ODI century, in chasing the massive total of 340 against [England](/source/England_cricket_team) at Napier in 2008. How was eventually run out on the second-last ball of the New Zealand innings. The match was eventually tied.[4][5][6] He along with [Peter Ingram](/source/Peter_Ingram) set the record opening stand in T20 cricket in 2012 (201)[7][8][9] He was also selected to make his Test debut in the first Test against the [West Indies](/source/West_Indies_cricket_team) on 9 March 2006 as an opening batsman.[10] He struggled in his first few matches, failing to reach fifty in his first ten innings and was dropped from the team at the end of 2006. On his return to Tests in March 2007 – 2008, he posted his first half-century, a fluent 92 in the first Test against England at [Hamilton](/source/Seddon_Park).[11] His second-innings 68 at [Lord's](/source/Lord's) a couple of months later laid the foundation for New Zealand to save the Test match. ## Personal life He attended [Palmerston North Boys High School](/source/Palmerston_North_Boys_High_School). ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Worker set to be Palmerston North Boys' High's 16th New Zealand player"](http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/70425502/worker-set-to-be-palmerston-north-boys-highs-16th-new-zealand-player). *[Stuff](/source/Stuff_(website))*.
