WELLINGTON — New Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder has told well-wishers “I'm okay” three days after suffering severe head injuries. Ryder was moved on Sunday from the intensive care ward of Christchurch Hospital to a regular ward as he recovers from a fractured skull and punctured lung. On Saturday the 28-year-old was brought out of an induced coma and removed from a respirator. In a statement Sunday, Ryder said “I just want to let everyone know that I'm OK. I feel better today but still really tired. I've been reading your messages that have been sent so thank you to everyone for thinking of me over the last few days.” — AP
