At the dawn of the new millennium, even the most passionate New Zealand cricket fans wouldn't have dared to suggest, that the Black Caps would be at the top of test playing nations two decades later.
Last Tuesday's ICC Test Championship Final victory over India in Southampton is what dreams are made of. In a true David verses Goliath battle, the nation of five million slew the power of 1.3 billion, in a enthralling end to the first test cricket title race.
The Black Caps victory was built upon a unwavering self belief entering the game, with two gritty innings and a magnificent bowling display. All this was achieved in just four days of play, due to wet weather.
