SKY SPORT BJ Watling and Mitchell Santner put New Zealand in a dominant position in the first test against England. Together McCullum and Watling - and Watling is nearly always mentioned second in these dispatches - put on 352 runs. So many New Zealanders will think that McCullum is a greater test cricketer than Watling, whereas the stats prove that they could not be more wrong. There is a grand canyon between their averages and their influence as a test match keeper-batsman. For the rest of us, we applaud BJ Watling's true brilliance and are happy to buy him a beer.
