At the end of the day, despite all the media hype and other bullshark, this team surpassed what a lot of people thought and well done to them. Classy in defeat and that to me gave the Black Caps the moral victory. I doubted them but WOW, some of the cricket was awesome. Well done lads, it was a magnificent effort.
I think they exceeded everyone's expectations but their own. This team in in a great position and I think we're looking at 4 or 5 years of dominance from AUS, RSA and NZ given the relative ages of their teams. I didn't see much from any other team to suggest they could regularly compete and this includes India. While other teams seems to have the 'odd' young talented player, the three teams mentioned above have a team of young talented players.
