(Reuters) - Plaudits were pouring in for New Zealand's "gem of a player" Kane Williamson after he displayed ice-cold nerves in guiding his side to a four-wicket victory over South Africa in the Cricket World Cup.
Williamson scored 106 not out as New Zealand reached 245-6 with three balls remaining in their innings, a result that moved them to the top of the table and has left the Proteas virtually out of the running for the semi-finals.
