Summary

[edit]
Description

On 15 February 1978, after 48 attempts, the New Zealand cricket team finally beat England in a test match.

Chasing 137 for victory, England was bowled out for 64, with Richard Hadlee taking 6 for 26. Hadlee went on to become New Zealand’s greatest wicket-taker in tests.

The 10-15 February test was held at Wellington’s Basin Reserve and was the first in a three-match series, which was drawn 1-1.

The photographs above are from Archives New Zealand's National Publicity Studios collection. Several other photographs of the same match are held in the collection.

The National Publicity Studios was established in 1945. Its purpose was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand.
