Jonathan Millmow, writing on stuff.co.nz, watches a child on the Adelaide Oval provide the best batting of the fourth morning of the second Test, which New Zealand lost by an innings.
The wee bloke played every shot in the book over the space of five minutes but he kept the ball on the carpet, ran like the wind and had his socks pulled up. He looked every bit a cricketer, something no one in the New Zealand top order did yesterday. Even accounting for their inexperience and the quality of opposition, New Zealand's specialist batsmen were an embarrassment to their country.
