Rotorua's Jayme Martin had a big part to play in New Zealand's one day international match against England, helping them win the toss.
The 9-year-old St Mary's School pupil won the chance to go out on the field before yesterday's match in Hamilton, escorting the coin to the umpire for the official coin toss.
He was chosen after his mother, Melissa Martin, entered him into a competition run by ANZ.
He said his favourite part of the day was getting to meet Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum on the field.
"He was nice. I told him he was my favourite player," Jayme said. "He asked me if I would like him to sign my cricket bat."
