Summary edit

Description

In 1986 a group of Australian Cricket stars visited Victoria University in Wellington to promote the installation of an artificial cricket pitch at Kelburn Park. The stars were Allan Border, Craig McDermott, Bruce Reid and Geoff Marsh. We assume that the pitch was sponsored by New Zealand Post as there are images of the pitch with the New Zealand Post logo applied. Pictured here are bowlers Bruce Reid and Craig McDermott and batsman Geoff Marsh. Bruce Reid played 27 tests and 61 One Day Internationals for Australia. His last appearance was in 1992. Craig McDermott played 71 tests and 138 One Day Internationals for Australia. His last appearance was in 1996. Since retiring from playing he has had stints as an international coach and has set up an academy in Brisbane. Geoff Marsh played 50 tests and 117 One Day Internationals for Australia before coaching Australia to victory in the 1999 Cricket World Cup in England. He has two sons, Shaun and Mitchell who are both current Australian International cricket players.
