A two-nil test series win in the first home series of the year isn't a bad result is it? As fans, we found ourselves celebrating many aspects of the Black Caps performances yet still longing for more and bemoaning another West Indies team which again, failed to deliver on our shores. So what can we take from the series? Well quite a lot really, we'll start with King Rosco...
The lads from the Carribbean are here. They have limped to our shores, with half the squad having a romantic hit out with some of our finest cricketers while the other half were toiling away in India. With both Shane Shilingford and Marlon Samuels both having had their bowling actions looked at with coach Gibson, I could give you what every other media outlet has said – The Windies haven’t had the best build up and will struggle without Chris Gayle. Any keen eye would note that the Black Caps and the West Indies are on a similar level, which is why I’ve got a bit of a tingle going on.
