England’s second Test in New Zealand will be played to a familiar soundtrack after the home side stepped in to have the Barmy Army’s trumpet repaired. But it looked as if Finch would fall silent at Basin Reserve this week after an incident during the first Test at Mount Maunganui. The instrument was taken, dropped and damaged by a local fan, leaving it bent out of shape and out of tune. 🚨 HELP 🚨 Unfortunately an incident lead to our trumpeters prized possession being damaged during the 1st Test. “While the songs and support are usually directed in behind the visiting team, our players and everyone at the event thoroughly enjoys the atmosphere they help create.”
