Geocache Description:

New Zealand has a long cricket history, in fact the first inter-provincial match played between teams representing Wellington and Auckland took place all the way back in 186Z. Domestic cricket quickly became popular with the records showing that Central Districts won the Plunket shield a total of T times between 1918 and 1945. New Zealand and Australia has a number of memorable sporting fixtures. Who could forget the infamous incident where Trevor Chappell bowled the last ball of the ODI underarm in 19H1. Speaking of ODI’s. Martin Sneddon, CEO of the New Zealand Cricket Board, was formerly a player himself. He scores a total of W ducks during his ODI career. In test cricket, New Zealand has had a number of dramatic matches, but we certainly didn’t win them all. Sri Lanka won the first test against New Zealand in 1994/1995 by a margin of A41 runs. Stephen Fleming holds a number of records for New Zealand, including most Test innings for a New Zealander with an impressive 1O9 innings (Note: This is the letter O, the second number you need for the coordinates).
