Today was day four of the New Zealand-England cricket test at Wellington’s Basin Reserve.
A chance to hang out with friends and the good natured travelling England fans
In the lunchbreak I took the chance to pop into the cricket museum (located under the stand in the photo above). I said hi to a friend who was volunteering there, and took a look at the trophy from the world test championship.
In a Basin tradition that is quite rare around the world, spectators are allowed onto the ground in some of the breaks. We can all pretend that we can actually read what the wicket might do
or get a close up look at the wider England squad going through their paces
and for the kids a chance to have a bit of a hit themselves
The middle of the day saw a somewhat spirited fightback from a poor position for the New Zealand team
But things went a bit pear shaped later in the day. It looks like England should wrap up a win when the game concludes tomorrow.
Despite how my team is doing, this is a post for the Whatever is Lovely Challenge
