English cricket team in New Zealand in 1929–30
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The England national cricket team toured Ceylon, Australia and New Zealand in the 1929–30 season to play a Test series against the New Zealand national cricket team. This was the first Test series ever played in New Zealand. England began the tour in October 1929 in Ceylon with a single minor match and then in Australia where they played five first-class matches. The New Zealand leg of the tour began in December and, in addition to the Test series, England played each of the main provincial teams: Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago.[1] England, captained by Arthur Gilligan, won the Test series 1–0 with three matches drawn.
