With any luck, a Black Cap will raise his bat at Whangarei's Cobham Oval today to celebrate 100 runs.
The Black Caps play the West Indies in a one-day international starting at 11am.
Just over the Cobham Oval fence, a healthy six-hit away, local district councillors took a leaf out the cricket tradition handbook yesterday and raised Te Matau a Pohe to celebrate the bridge's 10,000th opening/closing.
Since July 2013, the bridge has opened and closed 10,000 times.
Although a check of the Te Matau a Pohe scorebook reveals that the milestone was celebrated prematurely yesterday - the 10,000th lift is actually due to happen over the next few weeks.
