World Test Champs. Fudgeen eh!
Out of superstition spent 2 hours standing up walking around (no wickets lost), after 2 wickets had fallen whilst was sitting down. Great to have the old dog Taylor hit the winning runs.
A model for other NZ teams, that even if you don't have the biggest playing base, or most cash you can still succeed, against the odds. Much of which is about getting it mostly right off the field, and having the best systems, player development, team first culture, strong leadership, long term planning etc etc etc.
Some learnings for a team & club like Wellington Phoenix FC, for sure - who are themselves starting to look like they are getting it mostly right at HQ.
