Lancaster Park was a sports stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand.[1] Lancaster Park was used as an international cricket ground from 1930, when New Zealand played England in a Test match,[2] until its destruction in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The ground also hosted One Day Internationals (ODIs), the first of these was in 1973 when New Zealand played Pakistan.[3]

61 Test centuries were scored at Lancaster Park. The South African Jim Christy scored the first century at the ground when he made 103 against New Zealand in 1932. The first Test century by a New Zealander at Lancaster Park came in 1947, scored by Walter Hadlee against England. Walter Hadlee's son, Richard Hadlee, also scored a Test century at the ground when he made 103 against the West Indies in 1980. The West Indian Seymour Nurse holds the record for the highest Test innings at the ground, Nurse made 258 against New Zealand in 1969. Graham Dowling's 239, made against India in 1968, is the highest score at Lancaster Park by a New Zealander. Nathan Astle, also from New Zealand, holds the world record for fastest Test double century, which was made at Lancaster Park in 2002. Glenn Turner was the only player to have hit 3 Test centuries at the ground.[4][5]
