BEN Stokes hailed Brydon Carse as England's triple threat after his starring role against New Zealand, branding the Durham quick "three bowlers in one".
Carse produced a mighty effort in the first Test at Christchurch, taking combined figures of 10-106 to power his side to an eight-wicket victory.
He picked up four in New Zealand's first innings and six in the second to leave England chasing just 104 for victory, debutant Jacob Bethell providing the feelgood factor as he cracked an unbeaten 50 to wrap things up.
It was a statement display from Carse on just his third appearance at this level, intimidating the Kiwis with bouncers, attacking the stumps and maintaining a miserly economy rate.
