Luke ronchi: Cricket News & Match Updates

New Zealand batting coach Luke Ronchi showered praise on captain Tom Latham's unbeaten 186 on day one of the second Test at Hagley Oval, calling it 'amazing'. This was also Latham's first hundred as New Zealand's Test captain, especially after he didn't do well in the first Test and had lost the toss at Hagley Oval on Sunday.
