Black Caps tour of India
-
Never in doubt.
-
Fabulous effort!
Didn't give us a chance at the start of the series.
In one game, Mitch Santner reduces his bowling average from 42 to 36. And he'll get treated with more respect by batsmen in future, which will help him be more successful.
-
Brilliant..!
Should sit right up there in NZ sport -
Santner's stamina in the heat was also exceptional. Bowled unchanged from memory in both innings once he was brought into the attack.
-
Santner in this test is one of the outstanding individual performances in New Zealand sport. A superstar effort against the best in the world.

Wow.
Last week was amazing and this is even better.
Solid performances across the board but holy shit, Mitch Santner, where the FUCK did that come from !?!?!
Man of the match, absolutely incredible. You can dine out on this forever.
It’s pretty special to back it up with another win. Normally, you would expect India to come roaring back but to beat them again, on a wicket that they produced so heavily in their favour is fantastic. What a win!!

Absolutely. Fully expected a bit of a hiding to be honest

So is Henry available for the final test cos surely he gets back in but will they finally drop Southee ?
Will KW be fit ( if so Young probably goes )
-
The funny thing is the Indians will be in all sorts trying to figure out how they can amend the pitch in their favour in Mumbai.

Holy shit! What a stat.

Isn't that the beauty of sport. No one would have called these results 2 weeks ago
Huge credit to the whole team.
Santner how good. A talented cricketer has his moment on the big stage. Brilliant.
-
I would also like to thank Satner’s biggest supporter for making this happen.

Not far away from what many of us thought. Good on Mitch to give us the middle finger!
-
One of many astonishing parts of the series win - usually our unexpected wins are ridiculously tense. Hobart springs to mind. On the scoreboard at least, these were never close.
Even the occasional senses of dread that started to appear in this thread were by historical doom-reflex, than the actual scorecard.
-
That was extraordinary. If you bet on us at the start of each match you'd turn a dollar into $175
To do that in such different ways without Kane was incredible. There's a song somewhere in there
We beat them with pace
We beat them with spin
They doctored the pitches
And yet we still win -
A fantastic result. Good to see that most of the Indian fans stayed to the end, although they cleared out quickly.
It was nice that they gave the final word to Smith in the commentary.

They wish they had Dravid
They wish they had Sachin
They still have the spinners
And yet we still win -

The tests within the Test. You get them for 3 or 4 down but yet they still have Virat there. So you zero in on Virat hoping their number 6 or 7 don’t get away in home conditions.
I was a little shocked that some thought 300+ was no enough though….
-
This result would have been less amazing even four years ago……
But to do it now with…..
Rossco, BJ, Boult, Wagner all gone.
KW injured.
Jamieson seemingly permanently broken.
Henry injured, shit we have to play useless Santner again.
Latham and Southee not as good as a few years back.
Yeah, mind boggling stuff. Even more so after the Sri Lanka series.

@nzzp is there a tune for this?
No clue. I'm not drunk honest.

Surprisingly, the herald led it's back page with the all blacks. Against Japan ffs.
This India series win is up there with Australia in the 80s... But doesn't even lead. It is archaic. More money and population interested in cricket these days

Awesome effort lads, top off a day of bloody good results.
Santner, incredible performance.
Indeed.
Blackcaps win test and series.
All Blacks win with largely a B side.
Golden State Warriors smashing the Jazz.
Yankees getting beat with a walk off grand slam
Queensland Labor getting the boot.Great day.

Everything is a distant second to Rugby, no surprises there.
In terms of the BCs I’d argue it’s better than the Oz result.
Everyone knew Hadlee was a champion player. 33 wickets in a series is just rewards for a legend.
…..and not taking anything away from our GOAT but that Australia team wasn’t quite vintage, certainly not compared to the 90s-2010s.
In terms of Santners performance such an unlikely guy blitzing the Indian line up at home is an absolutely Everest moment.

What was awesome is over the 8 innings nearly everyone stood up and contributed. Even the much maligned Blundell got crucial runs in the second innings

Hope he gets a payday out of it

Conway back in form too, Young did ok…..
Mitchell was…..well….very consistent with three scores of 18.
Ravindra showing absolute class…..

Definitely, guys have peaks and troughs, he single-handedly kept us competitive against England not long ago. His place in the team is more than safe.

Are we going to play against anyone decent soon? It's all getting a bit boringly predictable now.

Satnav re-wrote history:
It’s what he’s done outside home, particularly in Asia, that’s been underwhelming, to put it lightly.
So far in his career, the left-arm spinner has played seven Tests in Asia. In those games, he’s averaged an eye-watering 53.29 and has struck once every 100 balls.
Became.....
So far in his career, the left-arm spinner has played eight Tests in Asia. In those games, he’s averaged a commendable 35.43 and has struck once every 66 balls.

I reckon that Kohli LBW was a ballsy call from the umpire and may well have been critical in the scheme of things. At home, Indian hero, to give Kohli out in what always looked to be umpire's call to the naked eye took courage. It would have been so much easier to say not out and let NZ review.
-
Santner was playing with an injury for the most part of the 2nd fielding innings
-
Biggest Black Caps result I can remember. Hammering India in India to go 2-0 and win a series? As big a thing as ypu can do in cricket. I watched far better Australian sides go there and fail repeatedly.
This is fucking huge and these players will be spoken about with reverence for ever. When we are really old we'll sit around with our mates over beers and talk about the '24 Indian tour like we talk about Paddles in Australia.
Amazing.
-
Whatever else he does in cricket from now on, Santner will be forever remembered by a generation of Indian fans.

How good!! Deserved to.
I thought they would demolish us after that first test humiliation but a different set of players stood up and smoked em again.
I’ve never looked more forward to a dead rubber than this test. Even if we get pumped, it won’t matter as we have already won!!!
What a decade plus of cricket we have been able to enjoy. Eseentially ever since McCullum was made captain we have had so much to celebrate

I can’t think of any other examples of such a maligned player doing what he did…..
Someone performing so well relative to his record to set up an amazing victory……
Doug Bracewell maybe ? We all had such high hopes after Hobart but Santner has been average for much longer and essentially did it TWICE.
