One Ring to Rule Them All…

New Zealand posted 244 before Andre Adams took out the English top-order; Nathan Astle and Chris Harris finished things off, and England were skittled out for 89.

The Westpac Trust Stadium One-Day International between New Zealand and England was an innocuous, albeit a skewed one. New Zealand posted 244 before Andre Adams took out the English top-order; Nathan Astle and Chris Harris finished things off, and England were skittled out for 89. It was a one-sided victory like any other.

It is, however, one of the most-heard matches of all time: Peter Jackson had the noise made by the spectators during the match recorded, and went on to use it in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
