3rd ODI v New Zealand at Christchurch - Mar 8, 2009
Match scheduled to begin at 14:00 local time (01:00 GMT)
Summers can be extremely hot in Christchurch, which isn't so pleasant for the fast bowlers, of course, but this didn't stop Sir Richard Hadlee from taking 76 wickets at 21.5 here at his home ground. And he was key to the ground's greatest moment in March 1987 when he ripped through a much-vaunted West Indies batting line-up: they crumbled to 100 and 165, and New Zealand went on to win by five wickets.
Test matches have been held there every year, apart from 1984-85 when the ground was rested after the pitch was severely criticized.
The ground has undergone two name changes. Originally Lancaster Park, it was renamed Jade Stadium in 1998. In 2007, it was renamed AMI Stadium after the insurance company acquired the naming rights. There are plans to increase the seating capacity before the 2015 World Cup
