Here's what's being said about Kane Williamson and the boys following yesterday's emphatic victory over Pakistan in Dunedin.
"Trent Boult was the lead singer, but New Zealand's entire band of bowlers deserved cricket for an exemplary display." - Andrew Alderson (NZ Herald)
"Pakistan's ineptitude could spawn much cricketing literature, but New Zealand's magnificence is far worthier of attention ... Any semblance of a contest was blown to pieces by a sensational opening spell from Trent Boult, who made a mockery of the notion that it was a slow pitch on which bounce was difficult to extract." - Danyal Rasool (cricinfo)
Great day for NZ Cricket! Brilliant performance @BLACKCAPS vs @TheRealPCB. Now a comfortable opening win for @BLACKCAPS U19s vs @westindies U19s #U19CWC

The @Blackcaps team bus will have to take the long route to the airport tomorrow morning after Otago Regional Council banned Trent Boult from crossing the Taieri river bridge. A spokesman said they were concerned that "in his current form, he's likely to make it swing too much."

A huge win by the @BLACKCAPS They are playing excellent cricket at present and deserve all the praise they get. They are making their opponents look second-rate, and that's one sign of a top team

So the @BLACKCAPS have just gone 10 from 10 this international season. We’ve only won the first ten completed matches of our home summer once before - and that was last summer, when we won the first 12 matches. 1/

Incredible scenes. One of the most dominant @BLACKCAPS performances I can remember. #nzvpak pic.twitter.com/DnkAyn5p18

Do you think the media might actually rate the @BLACKCAPS now? Rather than say how terrible the Windies were. Three world class batters plus #1 T20 batsman. Two world class bowlers and fine backups, inc. class spinner. Keeper who can bat #impressive

When Trent Boult is on song, he's as good as it gets in ODI bowling.

Champions of Champions? Pakistan crashed to their 3rd lowest ODI total of 74 all out, losing by 183 runs to New Zealand in the 3rd ODI in Dunedin. Pacer Trent Boult starred with figures of 5-17. Are NZ one of the favourites for the 2019 World Cup? #NZvPAK #Cricket @BLACKCAPS pic.twitter.com/z9D66b1boO
