New Zealand vs South Africa: Matt Henry savours 'surreal' seven-wicket haul in NZ great Richard Hadlee's presence
New Zealand's Matt Henry made a memorable return to Test cricket in the opening match against South Africa and the 30-year-old said it was "surreal" to match a benchmark set by Richard Hadlee, who cheered him on at the Hagley Oval on Thursday. Henry's seven for 23 blew away South Africa who were bundled out for 95, their lowest against New Zealand, and put the home side in the box seat. It was a stunning display of pace bowling by Henry, playing his first Test in eight months only because Trent Boult is away on paternity leave. Only Ajaz Patel (10-119) and Hadlee (9-52) have returned better Test figures by a New Zealander. Hadlee, who was present at the ground to cheer Henry, had also claimed 7-23 against India in 1976.
