At Lancaster Park in 1970, the crowds packed the terrace seats under the hills, watching the Black Caps take on England Cricket in a classic Test Cricket match—fielders crouched in the slips, all dressed in crisp whites, as the scoreboard ticked over slowly in the backdrop of mid-century NZ. The scene, thick with the haze of Rothmans Tour cigarettes, captured the essence of classic Kiwi life: cricket, camaraderie, and ladsladslads banter, echoed decades later in alternative cricket commentary like the ACC. This slice of sports history NZ, immortalized in black and white photography and preserved in vintage, retro, and historic prints of New Zealand photography, remains a true piece of kiwiana—a timeless nod to the golden days of sports and Kiwis in the 70s.
