Quotation of the New Year: “Or maybe, given the goodwill plainly clear between these teams, in stark contrast to the dogfight across the Tasman, Sri Lanka will reflect that there is little shame in being bested by a pair of batsmen like this. Likeable, intelligent, highly-skilled, respectful, unyielding and improving, Williamson and Watling lived out everything this New Zealand team hopes to be, and in fact, is already becoming.” — Andrew Fidel Fernando in his article after the 4th day of the Second NZ-Sri Lanka Test Match at Wellington: “New Zealand’s friendly neighbourhood game-changers”
