Summer days at the Basin


Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember ... (#7 of 30)

Growing up, my favourite part of the long summer holiday was not Christmas, but days spent watching cricket at the Basin Reserve. Whilst the main attraction is the hours spent lazing about with friends, there were some cricketing highlights too. My favourite was on Boxing Day 1998, when I got to see Simon Doull rip through the Indian top-order to lead New Zealand to a fantastic test victory. I've watched cricket at a few places around the world, but nowhere bets the Basin. (Ken, Educator).

Stay tuned for our daily memory posts throughout Wellington's Heritage Month 2013 - where staff and volunteers share one of their favourite stories of the Wellington Region.
