Like South Africa, West Indies, the New
Zealanders (Kiwis) made their Test debut against a strong English team.
The year was 1930 at Lancaster Park in Christchurch.
After winning the
toss, Kiwis were bowled out for 112.
The English replied strongly in
their first innings by scoring 181 runs and took a lead of 69.
In the
second innings, the hosts batted a bit better and scored 131, leaving a
target of just 62 runs which the English team chased out comfortably and
won the Test with 8 wickets in hands.
And thus, the Kiwis too continued the
tradition of losing their maiden Test alongside with England, West
Indies and South Africa.
Scorecard
New Zealand 112 and 131
England 181 and 66/2(Target 63 Runs)
Match Result - England won by 8 wickets
