Some Auckland junior cricketers had a couple of welcome additions to their training session on Wednesday, joined by Blackcaps stars Jimmy Neesham and Lockie Ferguson.
The visit came after a group of youngsters from Cornwall Cricket Club had their game cancelled last weekend, after anti-lockdown protestors walked across the field at Auckland Domain.
"I read an article on the weekend, about the lads having their first hardball game cancelled due to some unfortunate circumstances," Neesham says.
"So I just thought it would be easy to pop down the road, come say hi and create some good memories to erase the bad ones.
All going well, this week's game will go ahead - with any tips from Neesham and Ferguson sure to be on board and put to good use.
