Williamson top of world after match-winning ton

New Zealand phenomenon Kane Williamson shot to the top of the test batting rankings yesterday following his match-winning century against Sri Lanka.

He also ended the year with an astounding 90.15 test average, well clear of the next best 76.83 by Australian Adam Voges. The modest 25-year-old was unbeaten on 108 as New Zealand reached its 189 target in the second test in Hamilton for the loss of five wickets. The win wrapped up the series 2-0 for New Zealand after its 122-run victory in the first test where Williamson had scores of 88 and 71 before a rare blemish in the first innings of the second test when he was out for 1. He started the Hamilton test as the third-ranked test batsman behind England鈥檚 Joe Root and South African AB de Villiers, but passed both with his unbeaten century.
