| Jade Stadium Christchurch |
| The Jade Stadium, Christchurch is one of New Zealand's oldest cricket stadiums. Apart from cricket, the ground also regularly hosts rugby matches and such is the popularity of rugby that once in 1883 a cricket match was halted for 2 hours so that a rugby match could be completed! The Jade Stadium was first allotted a Test in 1881, but had to wait for a whole year to see actual international cricket being played at the ground. This was because the first Test was rained out and the stadium had to wait for another year to host a Test match. One of the most brilliant features of the Jade Stadium is its lighting. With world class lighting facilities available, it is one of the most preferred grounds in New Zealand for Day/Night fixtures. Sir Richard Hadlee had a special liking for this particular ground which was once temporarily transformed into a potato patch. He took a total of 76 wickets here at an average of 21.5. livescore.warofcricket.com provides information on Jade Stadium Christchurch and other famous Stadiums in New Zealand. |
