Kiwis summary record make an impression on Windies
New Zealand wrapped up a record innings and 134-run victory more than West Indies before lunch on the fourth moment of the first test in Hamilton on Sunday just after finally breaking a rearguard action from Jermaine Blackwood and Alzarri Joseph.
The victory margin was the most significant by New Zealand over West Indies, surpassing the innings and 105-run win at Wellington's Basin Reserve in 1999, and gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
New Zealand have been cruising to triumph inside three times, and were near the rare feat of dismissing a area twice in one working day, before Blackwood and Joseph came in concert at 89-6 and shared a 155-function partnership.
Blackwood completed his second check century on Sunday but fell for 104 shortly after Joseph was caught found in the deep for 86 and Neil Wagner finished off the innings at 247 when he bowled Shannon Gabriel for a duck.
"We were fortunate to log off to a good start and to have the ability hold that posture," New Zealand captain Kane Williamson explained.
"Getting into today we realized the West Indies batted deep and they showed that. It was great the people stuck with it."
The hosts had scored 519 for seven declared on the trunk of man-of-the-match Williamson's career-best 251 and dismissed the tourists for 138 in their first innings midway through the 3rd day.
Williamson had little hesitation imposing the follow-on and his bowlers again ripped through the West Indies batting, leaving them teetering before Blackwood and Joseph counter attacked in the final session.
Blackwood resumed on 80 on Sunday and survived a dropped catch by Ross Taylor on 89 before he brought up his second test hundred years with an individual off Kyle Jamieson.
Joseph was within view of his maiden test century but he holed out to alternative fielder Mitchell Santner at deep stage, which effectively ended the visitors' resistance.
The next test starts at the Basin Reserve on Dec. 11.
