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.
