And ISh and WOR feel like non-playing reserves. Wild.

Who’d have thought you’d see not one, but two specialist fielders in a test match

[Donsteppa]

I thought surely we'd relax by 2-3% and India would come out clinical in the third test. But no.

An amazing and surreal result first ever clean sweep of India at home.

[Bovidae]

Never in doubt!

Heaps of pressure on India in Aust now.

Believe it or not if we whitewash poms we are likely to make wtc final again, hard to believe but true

Imagine if we showed up in SL?

Or didn't drop a home game against Bangladesh!

[ACT Crusader]

Who cares. This is India in India. We could lose the next 10 tests, I will dine off this for a long long time.

[reprobate]

Fuck yeah, that was awesome. Great composure from Ajaz and Phillips.

@ACT-Crusader but the Young and Mitchell partnership was what won the match... Share it round...

I'm not opposed to knighthoods all round....

These are Paddles knighthoods - i.e. all individual performance based

[Steven Harris]

Halberg team of the year IMO
Just achieved what no other team has done emphatically ..

@canefan said in Black Caps tour of India:

Unbelievable. No Kane, no Trent, no problem

We haven’t had him for ages……

Sorry, what a nitpick.

This is our absolute best series ever bar fucken none.

Extraordinary!!!

[Godder]

I'd say the only negative is that Stead is probably safe, but then, if he wins series like that, probably deserve to be.

Just wait, they’ll find a reason to give it to the rowers.

[SBW1]

Fuck me! In a place called Wankhede that just sums it up.

He's earned some breathing room IMHO. Look at the team list, apart from Tim this team is post Golden Generation, so all Stead

[MN5]

I’d like to tag two ferners in particular.

@NTA for telling us to never give up ( even if it was a bit condescending and Australian ) and @Virgil for challenging the boys and daring them to get a 3-0 sweep.

Onya fellas !!!

wow
how the fuck did that happen!
best nz cricket result ever!

watched the whole series
the indians got caught on a "sticky wicket" in the first
in the 2nd and 3rd india went for spinning wickets
it backfired spectacularly on them
hard to believe it, but the spinning wickets actually suited us better than them
