Brad Wilson will have all the scheduled fourth day of his Plunket Shield cricket clash to ponder a missed opportunity to see a rare triple century.
The Northern Districts captain pulled the pin on his side's first innings with Kane Williamson 16 runs short of becoming the sixth New Zealander to score a first-class triple century.
Sensing they needed a long time to bowl Wellington out for the second time on what seemed a placid pitch at Lincoln, Wilson must have been pleased and a little guilty that by the end of day three his side had wrapped up a mammoth innings and 230-run victory.
Not that Williamson, with 284 not out next to his name, will hold it against him.
"The wicket was very good and we thought we'd need a lot longer to bowl them out," Williamson said. "Hindsight's a nice thing isn't it. It was very good to have a win and do it in three days."
