Philander hot as Proteas beat NZ

VERNON Philander achieved his best test bowling figures of six for 44 and Graeme Smith made an unbeaten 55 yesterday as South Africa beat New Zealand by nine wickets in the second cricket test to lead the series 1-0.

Philander swept through New Zealand's tail after lunch on the third day in Hamilton to fill his fifth bag of five wickets or more in his short test career. He posted match figures of 10-114 after taking 4-70 in New Zealand's first innings (185). The host was all out for 168 after trailing by 68 runs on the first innings and South Africa only needed 19.5 overs to make up the 101-run margin.
