Black Caps coach Gary Stead is satisfied with his team s efforts during the summer just gone.
OPINION: The Black Caps’ home summer began with a group of players heading straight from managed isolation to the first Twenty20 international against the West Indies and ended with another group heading from the final T20 against Bangladesh straight to the Indian Premier League. In between they won four tests in a row against the West Indies and Pakistan to book their place in the inaugural World Test Championship final in June, they won four T20 series against those two, Australia, and Bangladesh, and they also won their lone one-day international series, against Bangladesh, to boot.
