自新西兰首次测试板球战胜澳大利亚以来已有 50 年了

Share:

新西兰的板球迷可能仍在为最近在克赖斯特彻奇输给澳大利亚的测试而感到不安。但是,值得记住的是,整整50年前,新西兰在同一个城市庆祝了对手的历史性胜利。这是新西兰首次在测试赛中击败澳大利亚。

比赛在阳光明媚的日子里在兰开斯特公园举行。新西兰的门将肯·沃兹沃思打出四分确保了胜利,引起了激烈的庆祝活动。在球场的另一端,新西兰的揭幕战格伦·特纳没有在第二个世纪的测试中出局。他没有出局的101和110分是这场比赛中最高的总分。

现年76岁的特纳谦虚地回顾了这次活动,他说他不是一个值得庆祝的人。他把胜利比作 “在办公室再待一天”。但是,对于成千上万的球迷来说,这场胜利意义重大,他们目睹了新西兰在1974年3月13日的最后一局成功追逐228次获胜。

由于投球偏向投球手,特纳打了超过11个小时,面对600多个球,这场比赛得分很低。尽管如此,他还是设法以五个小门完成了比赛,这使结局相当舒服。

对阵澳大利亚的测试胜利对新西兰来说是罕见的,在过去的31年中只有一次胜利。在1974年,即使是对澳大利亚进行测试也是一件大事。直到那年夏天,两国之前只打过一次比赛,即1945/6年,最后以新西兰惨败告终。

约翰·帕克在克赖斯特彻奇的胜利中与特纳开球,他回忆起澳大利亚认为新西兰不够重要,无法与之进行测试。这种缺乏尊重是新西兰队的激励因素。

对于特纳来说,这场胜利也是个人的胜利,他在最后一天遭到澳大利亚队长伊恩·查佩尔的口头虐待。尽管如此,特纳仍然保持冷静,带领新西兰取得了胜利。

这场胜利标志着新西兰板球进入了一个新时代,由年轻的理查德·哈德利领导,他拿下了七个小门。这场胜利是克赖斯特彻奇历史上的亮点,克赖斯特彻奇仍在庆祝主办英联邦运动会。

尽管有庆祝活动,但球员们几乎没有时间休息。那天晚上他们都飞出克赖斯特彻奇,第二天重返工作岗位。

自1993年在奥克兰伊甸公园获胜以来,新西兰只赢过一次对阵澳大利亚的测试——2011年在霍巴特举行。
