NZ Sporting History: Neil Wagner

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 8 June 2023

For NZ Sporting History  today the topic is a lot more recent than what we'd usually discuss, it's certainly a moment destined to go down in history.

In February, the English cricket team visited our neck of the woods for a 2-match test series.

The first match was played at Mount Maunganui, with England coming out on top rather comfortably.

That win only made what happened in the second match all the more surprising.
