    I am absolutely speechless. What a privilege it is to watch these guys. Just incredible, little old NZ in top of the world in tests. How the hell did we manage that?

    Fuck. Yes. This means more than the CWC. First ever winners, number one in the world. It doesn't get any sweeter than that.

    Man this is going to take a bit of time to sink in. I'm pretty emotional haha, just can't believe we are the best test team in the world and have the mace to prove it. And to get the win after losing so much time is even more amazing.

    That was incredible to watch.

    The best thing is we won against the other best team in the world.

    We needed luck to beat Aussie in the WC final as they were the better team and we didn’t, obviously. I can hand on heart say that we are the better team in this championship and it was skill not luck that got us the win.

    you make one nice comment about the spirit of the game and all of a sudden a bunch of Indian cricket fans follow your twitter account - I see a lot of unfollows very quickly when they find out just how boring I am.

    If you remove the rain breaks from that test, that is a legitimate 8 wicket win inside three and a half days.

    I don't think there is any suggestion India batted more aggressively today to force a result is there?

    Indian Cricket fans are both insane and wonderful.

    Was in New York for a business conference in pre-internet days and my Indian colleagues found out I could get BBC World Service cricket commentary on my shortwave radio from my hotel room (they were playing England, I think).

    We all got pissed on Champagne in my room (which they insisted on buying) listening to the radio and playing a version of T20 with cush-balls and a squash racquet.
