Description

A BLACKCAPS helmet previously owned by Peter Fulton. The helmet was given to Fulton during England's Tour of New Zealand in 2013.

Peter Fulton (born 1979 in Christchurch), a tall top-order batsman nicknamed "Two-Metre Peter", made his mark on first-class cricket scoring 301 not out for Canterbury against Auckland in March 2003. He got his first international break in 2004, when he made his ODI debut against Bangladesh, while the Test debut followed early in 2006.

He made his debut for the New Zealand national team in 2004, when he made his ODI debut against Bangladesh, while the Test debut followed early in 2006. Fulton's most notable achievement came in 2013 when he scored consecutive centuries against England, playing a crucial role in New Zealand's series-levelling win.

Fulton retired from international cricket in 2014, having played 23 Tests and 49 ODIs for New Zealand. Beyond his playing career, he transitioned into coaching, contributing to the development of the game in New Zealand.
