MCC's VISIT
Broadcast Coverage NEw ZEALAND cricketers are looking forward keenly to the visit of the MCC players who will make up the first "official" MCC Test team to come to New Zealand since 1932-33. It was during that visit that Hammond made 227 at Christchurch and 336 not out at Auckland against New Zealand in official Tests. His 336 was a Test record, later broken by Len Hutton, of the present team, who made 364 against Australia in England in 1938. The matches will be fully covered by the NZBS.
