The trophy commemorates the tragic events of 1953,[2] when 151 people on the train from Wellington to Auckland on Christmas Eve - including Nerissa Love, the fiancé of New Zealand fast bowler Bob Blair - lost their lives in the rail disaster.[3] The disaster coincided with the second Test between New Zealand and South Africa,[4] where Bob Blair was playing the match.[5]
