My lads did win in Aus last time and Washington Sundar did really well from memory. He didn't play in the 1st NZ test but in the second he got 11 wickets at 10.5 and 39 runs for out once. In the 3rd test, he got 5 wickets at 22 and 50 runs for out once.

So averaging 44 with the bat and 14 with the ball in a losing side isn't bad and as I say, he did ok on Aus pitches with bat and ball last time. In the final test which they won to win the series, he got 62 in the first innings, and with time running out on the last day, scored a quick 22 in partnership with Pant so when he was out, only 10 was needed from 4 overs when it had looked all day that India had batted too slowly.
