That's quite a recovery. He's a big lad so hopefully that may have saved him from a lot worse.

Ryder made a century yesterday for Otago on his return to the game

In his first game back for NZ, Ryder hit a century in 46 balls - the 6th fastest of all time in ODI's. Good to see him back to health AND skills.

However, his efforts were overshadowed by team-mate Corey Anderson, who reached his century in a mere 36 balls - the fastest ever rate in ODI's - beating Afridi's record by 1 delivery. He carried on for another five deliveries and ended up with 131 n.o.

A very good effort by the pair of them, no doubt, but it needs to be looked at in the view of where it was - Queenstown. I lived in Queenstown for a short while and never knew they had a cricket ground, finding enough flat space to fit one in would have been a big ask. The footage I saw of the innings did have the ground looking miniscule.

This can be backed up by the whole NZ score: in a rain-shortened game, each side had a maximum of 21 overs and the Kiwis managed 4/283 - a mere 13.5 runs per over!

2nd. He scored a duck in the first game. But yeah, a great story. So happy for him. Corey Anderson has probably earned himself a million dollar IPL contract too. Mumbai Indians jersey is waiting.
Fantastic batting from the two.

NZL board will now be frustrated to see this happening again, especially by Jesse. He has been dropped for such behavior in past couple of time already. And what a way to prepare for a test match.

Some people just don't it.
