    • This Test has special significance in NZ cricket. It started just before the Tangiwai rail disaster on the North Island main trunk railway (24/12) when a bridge was washed away by torrents of water from the Mt Ruapehu crater lake. The fiancee of RW Blair was killed.

    • B Sutcliffe (1) retired hurt on 0* from 9/2 to 81/6 (hospitalised after being struck on the head)
    • LSM Miller (1) retired hurt on 1* from 24/3 to 57/5 (also hospitalised after being struck on the chest)
    • Blair, not expected at the crease, batted at 11 and stayed while Sutcliffe hit Tayfield for 3 further 6s in 4 balls. Blair himself also hit Tayfield for 6.
