Highest ever score while carrying bat I believe. Cook number two and Turner 3.
An incredibly impressive feat of concentration to bat for that long and that well. Especially with ten others falling by the wayside at the other end.
91, 50, 50, 49 and 43 isn't really falling by the wayside.

@cyclops Also first NZer to do so in NZ apparently.
Yep, Turner did it once at Lords and once in Kingston I think. The Kingston one was the double ton, part of the 72 series where he got 2 doubles along with Terry Jarvis.
Fantastic series that was for NZ. (Been talking about it all today)yeah Turns not only got 2 doubles in the tests he also scored another pair of doubles in the first class tour games.

@virgil I'm sure I don't know what you mean...
Twelve overs for the Lankans to face. I nominate Southee and Wagner full throttle since they did nothing with the bat.
Fuck old mate Southee gets shit on here. He got six fucken wickets!!!!
Says the man still merrily bagging Santner who has been out injured for nearly a year...!
You mean the all rounder who's not actually that good at either discipline?
So like many all rounders in NZ cricketing history, with a few notable exceptions?
Neesham and Anderson haven't played in a while, perhaps they need a few passing swipes at?

And yet he outlasted all. I'm in awe of that level of concentration/survival/run scoring/sheer ability to bat that long without stuffing up.

With the ball as well as the bat...

That is true.
In any case Santner has no place in this team.

Southee to produce 6 of the best?
So scenario ...
Southee ends up with 6 in both innings ... who gets MOTM, Timmah or Tommah?

Timmah. 12 wickets trumps any batting score (except freak outcomes). Much bigger contribution to the win.
Edited to correct to Timmah!

He could get all 20 fucken wickets and the haters would still whinge about his batting even after cracking a fast paced but irresponsible 68 off 29 deliveries.....

Not disagreeing with you but that was something like the 6th highest score by a NZ batsman and the first time a Kiwi opener has carried his bat in NZ. Highest score by any opener in test history to get through an entire innings. Pretty impressive.
I think 12 wickets would have been done a few times.
