In 1953, New Zealand toured South Africa and the Tangiwai rail disaster occurred in the middle of the second test. Bob Blair's fiancé was one of the 151 victims. The pitch was lively. Bert Sutcliffe and Lawrie Miller were hit by bounces and were forced to retire hurt. The great John Reid was hit five times and had to leave the field. Nobody expected Bob Blair to come out to bat, but Sutcliffe returned to the crease with bandages all over his head and, together with the devastated Bob Blair, put on a performance Brendon McCullum would be proud of, smashing sixes all over Ellis Park. As the Deputy Prime Minister has noted, we saw another example of that last night—not quite so damaged, perhaps, as Bob Blair psychologically or Bert Sutcliffe physically, but from BJ Watling, and he's also referred to Neil Wagner's efforts late last year.
