New Zealand's test cricketing stocks continue to rise, following their latest series win over Sri Lanka in Wellington.
The Black Caps beat Sri Lanka by 193 runs in the second test at the Basin Reserve in Wellington yesterday to win the two match series two nil.
The latest victory is set to move them up from seventh on the world rankings to fifth and reinforces a growing sense of self belief that has developed in the side.
The test win over Sri Lanka is a long way from the dark days in South Africa two years ago when the Black Caps were dismissed in a test for 45.
