The final cricket match of the season on a sunny Sunday nestled in the hills at Tokoroa… bliss.

What an incredible story.
With rare intensity, Martin Greenfield suffered the wounds and won the triumphs associated with immigration to America: agony abroad, poverty in a new home, workaholic entrepreneurship, fortune, and finally, a late-life reckoning with youthful tragedies.

One last sneaky late-forming rain cloud is thwarting a start to play at Hagley Oval. Looks clear after this on the rain radar for the @BLACKCAPS v Australia fourth day.

The Australians - and D.Vettori - commandeer the Hagley Oval nets in preparation for the pivotal fourth day of the second test against the @BLACKCAPS.

Patrons already in place at Hagley Oval, determined to capture a potential rare test cricket feat from the @BLACKCAPS against Australia. Sun has started to peak through the early gloom.

Another five-wicket haul for Matt Henry as he stars against Australia this summer. Removes Mitchell Marsh with a reviewed lbw for a duck. Australia 177-6, a lead of 15. Curiously, Henry is also the @BLACKCAPS' top runs-scorer...

A trip to a cricket test at Hagley Oval is only enhanced by a visit to the Christchurch Farmers’ Market on the Saturday morning. Can recommend Good Buy Pork Pie’s pork, apple and rosemary pasty and the blondie brownie.

Australia win the toss and field in the second test against @BLACKCAPS at Christchurch. Average first innings score at Hagley Oval is 299. New Zealand opt to stick with Scott Kuggeleijn over Mitchell Santner. Ben Sears to debut as the 287th New Zealand test cricketer.

Mitchell Santner has been delivering throw downs in the nets out the back of Hagley Oval so will presumably miss @BLACKCAPS selection for the second test against Australia.

Great to see @BLACKCAPS captain Tim Southee take time out to come to Christchurch airport to pick up his parents this afternoon ahead of his 100th test. He hasn’t forgotten a key reason as to how and why it all began.
