*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[Moss]

Honestly for a finger spinner, 36 isn't that old. Definitely a few years left in him for sure, especially given he'd still be dog hungry for games.

Agreed, but i doubt NZ are touring this part of the world for a while. If he had a bad game here I think that might have been it for him. He really needed this.

aussies learn how its done from the better country

brits you are ******** so you'll see all this and make stokes heave across the line and get bowled and claim moral victory

B-G is going to be one for the sports psychologists for both teams.

Didn't realize you will need one for winning.

But this is NZ's moment. Our post-mortem can wait at least a few hours. Well done and congrats to NZ fans here. Well deserved and well played. Put us under the most consistent pressure any team has done since England 2012 and did not give it away at the points when they could have wilted. They were just mentally stronger and that sealed the deal, for me.

If someone told me NZ could whitewash India, I would have told them to get their heads checked. Greatest upset of all time.

Legit though, where does this series rank in the all time test upsets? Whitewashing a team on a streak comparable to peak Australia and Windies at full strength while your missing kane, bracewell, and santner after the second test is unreal.

 

[Heboric]

Holy sheeeeet, congrats NZ. At the close of play yesterday didnt think you had enough

How does this affect the legacy of Ashwin and Jadeja though?

 

[subshakerz]

Congrats to all NZ fans.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Unprecedented achievement for NZ. One of the greatest series wins for any team in history(on the order of Ind vs Aus 2021 or SA vs Aus 2008 or WI in Aus 1979 or possibly, very possibly, even higher)

I am happy this blight on world cricket has been obliterated

Rohit - No big deal, btw Virat Bhai is in his prime

 

[ankitj]

Remember not to do much of a post mortem, Rohit.

It's #1 to win 3-0. Absolutely incredible

 

[Skyliner]

NZ will be invited back to India soon for a series, outside the FTP calendar. We are now box office on India, and they will want revenge.

Definitely one of the great feats in test cricket. In the conversation for top 5 and its really mostly personal preference at that point. ATG performance for sure.

Only one instance of a team chasing over 100 in Mumbai in the fourth dig in tests. Lot rests on ajaz, but this target is definitely defendable.

I am a genius. Bow at my knee peasant's and bask in my greatness.

 

[straw man]

Who would have thought the secret to not just beating india at home, but white washing them, was losing your countries greatest test batsmen before the series started and relying on ashton agar 2.0 and a keeper turned part timer as your second spinner. Unreal stuff.

Jamieson too, who was a huge part of drawing the first test last series in India. And we lost Henry and Santner to injury for a match. And we missed numerous chances in the field. It's an amazing series victory. Completely bemusing. But amazing.

India can't say they didn't see this coming or were surprised by this result tbh - though obviously no one saw this coming for NZ given where they were just a month ago and the general opinion of their spin stocks before this series. People here have been raising the five alarm fire about India's batting for ages, though I feel their bowling has underperformed here too, which is actually just as alarming IMO. But like every Indian poster here has been saying "uhhh this is no good" for like three years and it became obvious during that Aus series that India were absolutely gettable last year by what was a frankly pretty average Australian side. England picked a frankly joke attack and that might have papered over some cracks earlier this year, NZ have not been so generous.

Mumbai's son comes home to roost

 

[subshakerz]

I really thought India would have destroyed NZ in this test with the pride on the line. It's quite a shock.
