Black Caps batsman Glenn Phillips may not have seemed to have played a large role in his side's series-opening T20 victory over the West Indies, but the guts and glory showed in his brief innings certainly had an impact.
Coming to the crease with the Black Caps' chase of 180 faltering at 34/2 after almost four overs, Phillips proceeded to shift the innings into another gear, and almost severely injured himself in the process.
Facing cunning left-arm spinner Fabian Allen, Phillips calmly defended the first delivery of his innings before launching the ball over deep backward square for six.
Two balls later Phillips again took full toll of Allen's offering with the ball - this time walking down the pitch to send it into the stands over long on - but let out a mighty scream in the process and fell to the ground.
