Wow 690 NZ's highest ever score eclipsing the 680/8 dec. vs India this year. 6 players scoring 50 +. Mc Cullum fastest ever century by a kiwi, also first kiwi to score 4 double-hundreds. Joins Sir Donald Bradman, Ricky Ponting & Michael Clarke as only players to score 3 double-hundreds in one calender year. Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson, Tom Latham, Jimmy Neesham and Mark Craig (batting @ no.8) all average over 40. Boult is developing into a world class bowler and Mark Craig looks set to take over from Vettori in the all-rounders role..
In their last 10 tests NZ has won 5 with only 2 losses...going for 6/11
