A self-confessed cricket tragic is trying to get the memorabilia of the late Martin Crowe back to New Zealand.

Martin's cousin, Russell Crowe, is planning to auction off what he owns before his estate is divided up from his divorce.

He owns 30 items from Martin's career - including the coveted bat he scored his final century with.

The move has outraged cricket fans, including Adam Gilshnan, who started a Give-a-Little page to try and raise cash for the auction.

He told Mike Hosking that there are five items that they are targeting. 

"We want to raise the money and donate all the items that we can buy to the New Zealand Cricket Museum at the Basin Reserve in Wellington."
