The stock of the Black Caps' Northern Knights contingent continues to rise following the national side's test series victory in the West Indies.
Man of the Series Kane Williamson's 161 not out in the second innings of the third test turned the game in the Black Caps' favour, before the
Knights duo of Tim Southee and Trent Boult combined to take six wickets on the final day.
Fellow Knights player BJ Watling was not to be left out, pulling off a sharp piece of work to remove Shivnarine Chanderpaul, stumped for the first time in his 266 innings, 20-year test career.
The quartet's return for the series was particularly impressive - Southee and Boult combined for 20 wickets, Williamson accumulated 413 runs from 949 deliveries at an average in excess of 82 and Watling scored 207 runs at better than 50 to go along with 13 dismissals.
Williamson's progress is especially encouraging. No player - not even the vaunted Martin Crowe - has scored as many runs wearing the silver fern before the age of 24.
