A historic cricket tour it was!! Series win in both ODI n Test had never been easy task in Newzeland. Congrats Dhoni n team.... beginning of tour we lost T20 matches, was it over confidence, could be.. yes we are world champs but it doesn't mean we will play whatever way we want to be... Dhoni is a smart captain n he understood this very quickly...
we played sensible and attacking cricket in ODIs, result was 3-1 series win. Sachin showed he has lot of cricket left in him with an inning of 163, tht was truly amazing; n another landmark record was Shewag's fastest century from India. Same time we again missed clean swipe, reason could be again over confidence. In this area Dhoni has to work on.
Moving to Test matches without any practise match.. I was praying for team india.. it was first NZ tour for most of squad member including Skipper.. hats of team.. the way they played entire series. apart from couple of session each one in all three test were dominated by us. Again it was superb Sachin in 1st test. We saw another wall(Gambhir) in second test... wht was tht.. single handed he saved tht match. We again played excellent in 3rd match but i was disappoint with captaincy.. why 617 runs target.. in 125 year none of team ever chased 500. Dhoni was happy to win series by 1-0, he did same wht Dravid did in England test series.. we are still not mature enough to take high risks. End of day we won and that what important for every one.. me too happy.
Both Delhites(viru n gauti) openers are key for India's success in all format.
Sachin was undoubtly in grt touch, Dravid n laxman came with experience whn required most, harbhajan n zaher were impressive through out series.
Series over.. lets get ready for Modi's IPL-2 saga
