Lancaster Park, formerly also known as AMI Stadium, is a 13,000 capacity cricket stadium situated in a suburb of Christchurch in New Zealand. The stadium is currently closed due to damage sustained in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The Hadlee Stand has been demolished and the fate of the rest of the stadium is unresolved. It was New Zealand's oldest Test venue before it was demolished; that title now belongs to Basin Reserve.

The ground was the venue for 40 Test matches, 48 One-Day International matches and 4 Twenty20 Internationals.

The first Test match at the ground was between New Zealand and England, beginning on 10 January 1930, whereas the first ODI was between New Zealand and Pakistan on 11 February 1973. The first T20I was played on 7 February 2008 between New Zealand and England.

Sir Richard Hadlee has taken 5 Tests and 1 ODI fifer in AMI Stadium, most by any player at the venue.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[1][2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3]

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at Lancaster Park was Maurice Allom, who took 5 for 38 in 1930 for England against New Zealand.[4] Phil Tufnell of England has the best bowling figures of 7 for 47. There have been a total of 44 five-wicket hauls in Test matches at the ground.

There have been five five-wicket hauls taken at the ground during ODIs. The first of these was achieved by Richard Collinge who took 5 for 23 for New Zealand against India in 1976.[5] Australian pacer Simon O'Donnell recorded the best ODI bowling figures at the venue with 5 for 13 against New Zealand in 1990.
