Hope they tag the correct Tim Paine this time.
Actually, no I don't. I don't give a fuck.
About either fucking twitter, or about being so insecure that someone else's opinion was that another team might win.
Today is a day when we can afford to be totally magnanimous.
Kane would want us to be.
On that note - shout out to @newsjunkie who I'm sure will be as gutted as we would have been if we'd lost. Commiserations!
You guys had a lot of the same adversity we had in that pink ball disaster in Perth - preparation, toss, conditions...

for our vanquished foes? Nothing but respect. Great team of really good players who have destroyed the myth that India are only good at home. We had the better prep, and made better use of conditions.
It's the 3rd parties who are copping it hardest

wow.. what a win! This really is a milestone moment for all those involved. Champions of test cricket (in my mind real cricket). For those retiring or about to retire this would undoubtebly be right up there in terms of highlights. Really happy for them and hopefully puts to bed some demons from previous games.
Hopefully this also leads to enhanced tours in the future and opportunities to show how good this team is.
Well done!
I think Ross said this is the absolute top highlight of his career.

aussies works mates claiming they didn't know the WTC was a thing
Well if Aus aren't in it - it gets no coverage.
Just like America's Cup, Super Rugby Trans Ta$man Final etc etc etc
Yep, on Sunday morning I had Sky News Australia on and they covered AFL, NRL, A League, international tennis and golf but didn't mention the WTC. Fucken sad.

This should be (is in my eyes) the new pinnacle of cricket, probably hasnt sunken in for a lot of them yet. Even making the final is significant when you think of the results that we have had to ensure we got there. Even for India to make it was not easy, both teams deserved to be there. This result is a big deal, really happy for them!

They can all look at the scoreboard bitchez

@bayimports I agree completely.
When we won the RWC in 1987, I can recall it was nowhere near as big of a deal as it had become by 2011!
We have become the Uruguay of test cricket!

the list of better servants to NZ cricket than those two blokes is pretty small
taylor is 37 and kane is 30, how good is it to think kane could be around for several more years if he wanted

With the players coming through, the future looks bright.

Taylor especially. I genuinely though he was gone after the captaincy saga. That was almost ten years ago.

New Zealand beat India to win inaugural World Test Championship | Cricket News - Times of India
Cricket News: India's revered superstars failed to dazzle on the 'D-Day' as New Zealand's canny operators and their classy skipper Kane Williamson deservingly walke
The Times of India giving us plenty of credit.
The comments section is fairly brutal - summed up briefly by some guy called Paulie - "All Kholi Hype Burst.... useless fellow."

Both players have higher averages as captains than as non-captains as well.

@crucial really? i had in my head taylor dropped in form when he was made captain, i will correct myself
