Pacer claime­d 14 wicket­s in two Tests agains­t West Indies­HAMILTON: New Zealand coach Mike Hesson heaped special praise on Neil Wagner, whose bouncing barrage wreaked havoc in the West Indies ranks to set up a Test series sweep. Wagner took 14 wickets at 18.28 in the two Tests as he tormented the West Indies with his short deliveries angling into the body. He bagged another five in the second Test at Hamilton, which wound up on day four on Tuesday with New Zealand winning by 240 runs. Once new-ball pair Trent Boult and Tim Southee accounted for the top order on the final day of the second Test, Wagner worked over the middle. When Roston Chase tried to rebuild the innings and reached 64, Wagner came back to remove the stubborn batsman.
