Win caps off Kiwi year

AFP, Christchurch
New Zealand wrapped up a win against Sri Lanka by eight wickets on Monday to cap their most successful year in Test cricket.
Set a meagre 105-run target on the
fourth day of the first Test in Christchurch, they took 30.4 overs to complete the victory with Ross Taylor not out 39 and Kane Williamson on 31.
It means New Zealand have won five Tests in a calendar year for the first time after enjoying 2014 series wins at home against India (1-0) and away in the West Indies (2-1). They also drew a series with Pakistan (1-1) in the UAE earlier this month.
Although Williamson and Taylor steered New Zealand home, the victory was built on Brendon McCullum's swashbuckling 195 first innings knock and the lethal swing and seam bowling ofTrent Boult and Tim Southee.
After Sri Lanka were forced to follow on 303 runs in arrears of New Zealand's 441, they ground out a gritty 407 but the size of the first
innings deficit meant New Zealand were never under any serious threat.
Sri Lanka resumed their second innings on Monday at 293 for five and cautiously picked off the 10 runs they need to make New Zealand bat again before Southee struck in a high-class spell with an ageing ball that produced three wickets for 19.
