Step back to February 22, 1992, Eden Park, Auckland. The opening match of the Benson & Hedges Cricket World Cup wasn’t just another game; it was the dawn of a new era for New Zealand cricket.
In the first episode of Kärcher’s “Blast from the Past,” hosts ACC Head G Lane, Jeremy Wells, and Dylan Cleaver revisit this iconic day, unpacking the drama, the personalities, and the legacy that still echoes through the sport.
The episode dives into the tense build-up: a team struggling for form, selectors doubting their skipper, and a nation bracing for disappointment. But as the match unfolded, bold tactics (like Dipak Patel opening the bowling) and unlikely heroes emerged. Crowe’s century, the “dibbly-dobbly” bowling brigade, and a string of fielding miracles turned the tide, toppling defending champions Australia and igniting a World Cup run that would captivate the country.

Blast From The Past is brought to you by the legends at Kärcher!
