Well done to the Black Caps, coming through with the win this evening in sunny Dunedin. While the second innings collapse from the Kiwis was predictable, I have to admit I didn’t think they could roll Pakistan for 250.  For me, having a genuine strike bowler like Shane Bond  is the difference.   Despite their heroic efforts Chris Martin and Iain O’Brien are not going to regularly win test matches.  Great stuff in any case, and good to see a test in Dunedin make it to the final day, and in sunshine what is more!

and no doubt the other heroic effort of the weekend was our own Trevor Mallard.  Sub 5 hours in Taupo.  Brilliant effort from the old boy!
