Thursday 14 March - at the Basin Reserve. Day one of the test match between NZ and England. A bad start, we had to queue for 45 minutes to get in, and missed the first of only two English wickets that fell on the day! Highlights of the day were the paradise duck that moved around to different fielding positions during the morning. Fortunately it never got hit. Apparently it even had it's own twitter account during the day. Another highlight was " the new pope" in full regalia circulating around the ground blessing the crowd - complete with a bottle of beer in each hand. The Barmy Army were in full song as the day belonged to England.
