    Isn't that the beauty of sport. No one would have called these results 2 weeks ago

    Huge credit to the whole team.

    Santner how good. A talented cricketer has his moment on the big stage. Brilliant.

    I would also like to thank Satner’s biggest supporter for making this happen.

    How bad are Santner’s numbers in Tests? Way worse than you think | New Zealand tour of India, 2024

    All the numbers point towards the left-arm spinner being a liability for the Kiwis in red-ball cricket

    Not far away from what many of us thought. Good on Mitch to give us the middle finger!

    One of many astonishing parts of the series win - usually our unexpected wins are ridiculously tense. Hobart springs to mind. On the scoreboard at least, these were never close.

    Even the occasional senses of dread that started to appear in this thread were by historical doom-reflex, than the actual scorecard.

    That was extraordinary. If you bet on us at the start of each match you'd turn a dollar into $175

    To do that in such different ways without Kane was incredible. There's a song somewhere in there

    We beat them with pace
    We beat them with spin
    They doctored the pitches
    And yet we still win

    A fantastic result. Good to see that most of the Indian fans stayed to the end, although they cleared out quickly. 🙂

    It was nice that they gave the final word to Smith in the commentary.

    I'm on holiday, so why not:

    They wish they had Dravid
    They wish they had Sachin
    They still have the spinners
    And yet we still win

    The tests within the Test. You get them for 3 or 4 down but yet they still have Virat there. So you zero in on Virat hoping their number 6 or 7 don’t get away in home conditions.

    I was a little shocked that some thought 300+ was no enough though….

    This result would have been less amazing even four years ago……

    But to do it now with…..

    Rossco, BJ, Boult, Wagner all gone.

    KW injured.

    Jamieson seemingly permanently broken.

    Henry injured, shit we have to play useless Santner again.

    Latham and Southee not as good as a few years back.

    Yeah, mind boggling stuff. Even more so after the Sri Lanka series.

    Surprisingly, the herald led it's back page with the all blacks. Against Japan ffs.

    This India series win is up there with Australia in the 80s... But doesn't even lead. It is archaic. More money and population interested in cricket these days

    Awesome effort lads, top off a day of bloody good results.

    Santner, incredible performance.

    Indeed.

    Blackcaps win test and series.
    All Blacks win with largely a B side.
    Golden State Warriors smashing the Jazz.
    Yankees getting beat with a walk off grand slam
    Queensland Labor getting the boot.

    Great day.

    Everything is a distant second to Rugby, no surprises there.

    In terms of the BCs I’d argue it’s better than the Oz result.

    Everyone knew Hadlee was a champion player. 33 wickets in a series is just rewards for a legend.

    …..and not taking anything away from our GOAT but that Australia team wasn’t quite vintage, certainly not compared to the 90s-2010s.

    In terms of Santners performance such an unlikely guy blitzing the Indian line up at home is an absolutely Everest moment.

    What was awesome is over the 8 innings nearly everyone stood up and contributed. Even the much maligned Blundell got crucial runs in the second innings

    Indeed.

    Conway back in form too, Young did ok…..

    Mitchell was…..well….very consistent with three scores of 18.

    Ravindra showing absolute class…..

    Definitely, guys have peaks and troughs, he single-handedly kept us competitive against England not long ago. His place in the team is more than safe.

    Are we going to play against anyone decent soon? It's all getting a bit boringly predictable now.
