"Oh that's not really on my mind at the moment," he said, adding the Stags was his immediate focus. "I can't really see that happening again but I'll just keep batting and see what happens."
The Black Caps test side are going through a lean patch with Ross Taylor injured and many fans speculating the internationals rely too much on skipper Kane Williamson.
Batting aside, Ryder adhered to the game plan from the Heinrich Malan-coached Stags that the longer he dug his toes in the crease the better it would have been for the collective cause.
"It's a good feeling to finish the game and still be on a score of not out."
Asked how his body was, the allrounder said it was fine and with one more game to be played against the Auckland Aces at McLean Park, Napier, from Wednesday next week, he would be working towards a top shape into the next summer.
"I've been playing seven or eight seasons back to back so I'll be doing some nice winter fitness work over winter with Webby and the lads still based around Napier will be good for me so it should be a good winter," he said of fitness guru Nick Webb.
However, Ryder hailed the CD bowlers for putting in the hard yards on Thursday to create a platform for the batsmen to successfully chase down the 347-run target the Kings had set to skittle the Stags in their second dig.
"The period after lunch where the seamers bowled and took wickets was good," he said, revealing the Stags had had a meeting at stumps to pick up their bats with a degree of calmness and head towards tea to see what would transpire.
"We were lucky enough to get over the line today."
Opener Mitch Renwick scored 37 runs, George Worker 53 and captain William Young added 47 above Ryder before wicketkeeper Dane Cleaver chimed in with 48 runs at No7 and Adam Milne was unbeaten on 29 in 86 overs.
"Everyone chips in sort of thing and I was just enough to bat through and get us home."
Ryder said because the batsmen were clipping away at a snappy rate he was able to play his part with some ease.
The Saxton Oval wicket was difficult so to toil on it for four days and come away as the last-placed team to beat the top-placed one was immensely satisfying for the Stags who have jumped up to fifth place above Otago Volts.
"We've come close a couple of times this [season] so it was good character from the lads to go out there and not give a shit over a match because we played like we were on the top so beating them and making them wait for another week is good for us."
The CD versus Aces clash will be a humdinger because the second-placed Aucklanders will have more than a sniffing chance of retaining the silverware if they post an outright win.
"We'd like to finish strong so after this the boys will be pumped up for the next one," he said.
In Dunedin, the Aces beat the Otago Volts by eight wickets while the Northern Districts Knights crushed the Wellington Firebirds by nine wickets.
