Much needed knock this one, both openers were starting to feel some pressure, Raval got a start, and Latham huge runs, much needed, and good to see

Don't think so
This sri Lankan bowling attack is absolutely terrible

I think that's being a little blase. Yes, the Sri Lanka attack is poor, especially in non-Asian conditions, but no one else made a hundred, and they took the other ten NZ wickets for just over 300. 11 wickets went down yesterday, indicating it's not the flat track that a lot of other big scores have been made on. And carrying one's bat is a rare feat on its own - breaking the record for most runs doing so is quite an achievement.
I agree it's probably not the innings of the year due to the weakness of the opposition attack, but it's still a bloody good effort. I think I know what I'd pick for the best - are we having the CMS awards this year to see what the consensus is?
