New Delhi: New Zealand and England will now play for the Crowe-Thorpe trophy to honour the legacies of the late Martin Crowe and Graham Thorpe.
The trophy, made from wood sourced from a bat from each player, in collaboration with NZC, ECB and the families of each player, was unveiled on Thursday morning in Christchurch ahead of the start of the three-match series. The bats were gifted by the two families to create the trophy carry special meaning for these two sides. Crowe’s was the Gunn and Moore with which he scored his century at Lord’s 1994. Thorpe’s Kookaburra was the one used for back-to-back hundreds against New Zealand in 1997.
The trophy was designed by David Ngawati of Mahu Creative, who also designed the Tangiwai Shield for New Zealand’s Test series with South Africa. Crowe and Thorpe have both been seen as legends in this part of the world.
