New Zealand cricket coach Mike Hesson has defended his side's lapses of judgment in the drawn first test against South Africa. A failed review from Trent Boult in the 25th over, when a ball hit Jean-Paul Duminy's pad, rather than the bat, on the way through to B-J Watling's gloves. No review was taken, when Jeetan Patel hit Duminy (20) on the back leg in the 38th over, which, in hindsight, the ball tracker showed hitting the stumps.
