He is now out of the coma and intensive care, but has been unable to help police with their investigation.His manager, Aaron Klee, said it was not known when his client would be discharged from hospital. Ryder told police his last memory was being dismissed in a match on Wednesday.He's absolutely talking, sitting there having conversations and he's up on his feet," Mr Klee said. "It's nice to see the big guy back on his feet again.Two people have been charged with assault and are due in court later this week.The cricketer had been in Christchurch with team-mates after playing for Wellington Firebirds in a domestic one-day competition. He had been due to fly to Delhi to begin a $300,000 (£200,000) contract in the Indian Premier League.Unfortunately Mr Ryder has no recollection of what took place or the events leading up to the incident," Detective Senior Sergeant Brian Archer said.Ryder stopped playing international cricket for New Zealand in February last year after a series of alcohol-related problems. He had also had disciplinary lapses.Should Mr Ryder gain sufficient recollection as his recovery continues, then we may look to speak to him again. However there are no immediate plans to re-interview him at this time.
