Martin Guptill scored 180 runs, New Zealand win the match
Guptill averages 43.98 in one-day but only 29.38 in Tests.
New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill's record-breaking performance in a one-day international against South Africa is not enough to secure him a Test recall, Black Caps coach Mike Hesson said on Thursday.
Guptill smashed an unbeaten 180 off 138 balls as the Black Caps beat South Africa by seven wickets in Hamilton on Wednesday, the highest-ever score by a New Zealander against the Proteas.
It was also New Zealand's third-highest ODI score overall, bettered only by Guptill's own 189 against England in 2013 and his 237 against the West Indies in 2015.
Guptill's 180 helped New Zealand level the ODI series at 2-2, setting up a winner-takes-all clash in the fifth and final match at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday.
