The Tangiwai Shield is a Test cricket series played between the men's cricket teams of New Zealand and South Africa. It was launched in February 2024 during South Africa's tour of New Zealand. [1]
The trophy commemorates the tragic events of 1953, [2] when 151 people on the train from Wellington to Auckland on Christmas Eve - including Nerissa Love, the fiancé of New Zealand fast bowler Bob Blair - lost their lives in the rail disaster. [3] The disaster coincided with the second Test between New Zealand and South Africa, [4] where Bob Blair was playing the match. [5]
