WELLINGTON (Reuters) - All Blacks coach Steve Hansen once quipped that it was probably better to "flush the dunny (toilet) and move on" after a poor performance against Italy in 2009 and his cricket counterpart Mike Hesson expressed similar thoughts on Sunday. The victory gave the Proteas a 2-1 lead in the five-match series and Hesson's side face a must-win game in Hamilton on Saturday. We can't let a performance like that affect how we prepare for the next one," Hesson told reporters on Sunday. Hesson at least has the services of Martin Guptill at Seddon Park after the opening batsman missed the first three games with a hamstring injury. Guptill's return creates something of a selection conundrum for Hesson, with Tom Latham likely to relinquish the gloves to specialist wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi for the rest of the series.
