Strong performances in the first two innings of the opening test against Zimbabwe set up New Zealand's innings victory at Bulawayo with more than a day to spare.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, victorious by an innings and 117 runs in his first test in charge, had high praise for his bowlers, and batsmen in what was a convincing performance - if not as easy as the scoreboard would suggest, Williamson said.
Left armer Trent Boult was the most successful of the New Zealand bowlers in the second innings, taking four wickets, but fellow leftie Neil Wagner picked up two, including the last wicket, to finish with eight for 103 in the match, an outstanding effort which man of the match Ross Taylor - for his unbeaten 173 in New Zealand's innings - admitted should probably have earned the Otago bowler the honour.
