bryan william yuile -lrb- born 29 october 1941 in palmerston north , new zealand -rrb- is a cricketer .
he played 17 test matches for the new zealand national team in the 1960s .
his career spanned from 1959 to 1971 , until a religious objection to playing on sunday led to the end of his promising career .
yuile was a left-arm spin bowler and middle-to-lower-order batsman .
he played for central districts from 1959-60 to 1971-72 , and toured south africa in 1961-62 and england , india and pakistan in 1965 and 1969 with the new zealand team .
in 1962-63 he took 7 for 36 against otago .
he made his test debut against england in the first test in auckland later that season , taking the wicket of ted dexter and top-scoring for new zealand with 64 in the first innings , which remained his highest test score .
his best test figures came in the second test against pakistan in auckland in 1964-65 , when he dismissed four of the first five batsmen and finished with 4 for 43 off 54 overs .
in 1965-66 he took 9 for 100 for central districts against canterbury .
the previous season he had taken 3 for 33 and 7 for 54 against northern districts .
his highest first-class score and only century was 146 against canterbury in 1967-68 -lrb- he also took 6 for 68 and 1 for 13 in the same match -rrb- .
in 1966-67 in the four-match series against the visiting australians he took 15 wickets at 22.13 and made 162 runs at 40.50 .
in the first match , when new zealand beat an australian team for the first time , he took 5 for 62 and 2 for 57 -lrb- match figures of 69-34-119-7 -rrb- and made 38 and 5 not out .
in 1969 he headed the batting averages on the new zealand tour to england with 383 runs at 63.83 , but was not selected for any of the tests , in which hedley howarth carried the spin attack .
along with his team-mates on the 1969 tour bruce murray and vic pollard he would not play cricket on sundays for religious reasons .
with the introduction of sunday play in the late 1960s and early 1970s , his career was consequently curtailed .
