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.
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.

@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?
The Neesh could get hundies though....

@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)The difference between Latham carrying his bat and Turner is you know Turner was playing for that individual achievement from about 5 down.

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.

When Bryan Young got his double did they declare?

12 in a match puts him second equal behind Hadlee. Done twice by Vettori (weirdly, I dont' remember him doing this and spinnig people out. Once in Aus in 2000, and again against the Bangles over there).
So yeah, 12 in a match is amazingballs.

If I remember rightly Alan Border got a 10 fer....
But then again Jason Gillespie got a double ton....
Cricket is a funny game ( say that in a Geoffrey Boycott accent for full effect )

Iād give MOTM to Timmy if he got another 6fer.
The SL bowling attack really is poor. Their batting is better, albeit marginally.
Well done to Latham. A huge effort in concentration and application.

At tea on the second day 7 down with Dipak also not out on 40 odd. Looking at the scorecard it looks to have rained most of the next day which was probably the consideration.
Young, Sutcliffe, Kane and Fleming all had good chances at 300 but gave them up in the interests of the team. Sutcliffe was declared on only 2 down!!
Does really show that unless you are batting second on a road after giving up ~600 there is almost has to be a degree of putting the individual first to get there.

For all the shit Fleming got over his conversion rate he still cracked three double hundies.
