WELLINGTON :New Zealand put themselves in prime position for a first test series win against South Africa after steamrolling the Proteas in seven sessions to win the opening match by an innings and 276 runs on Saturday.
The Proteas' humiliation in the first Test against New Zealand was complete inside seven sessions on Saturday as the hosts wrapped up the match by a comprehensive innings and 276 runs in Christchurch.
New Zealand claimed a rare victory over South Africa on Saturday, wrapping up the first Test by a comprehensive innings and 276 runs in just seven sessions in Christchurch. It is only the fifth time in 46 Tests since 1932 that New Zealand have beaten South Africa with their last victory coming in 2004. "It's a great day," an elated captain Tom Latham said. South Africa, who were 387 behind on the first innings, resumed the day at 34 for three and showed little appetite to chase down the total, losing their final seven wickets before lunch to be all out for 111. Latham said winning the toss and putting South Africa in to bat was critical for New Zealand's success.
