Southampton:New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling is hoping to end his "one hell of a journey" in international cricket with a triumph in the World Test Championship final against India beginning here on Friday.
Watling is set to play his 75th and farewell Test after recovering from a back injury that made him miss the second Test against England last week.
I'm just looking forward to playing another test match. It is an exciting one, and I'm certainly pretty pumped to be in the final. I'm just going into it how I do with every other test going through the processes of trying to win a test match," the 35-year-old was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz.

Watling made his debut in 2009 and few years later established himself as a batsman in the middle-order.
He is thankful that he did not have any major injury issues in his long career.
"I think as a cricketer you have the odd niggle every now and then. The back, it's been pretty good to be fair for most of my career.
