NewZealand skipper Daniel Vettori was determined to put their best foot forward to win the final ODI against India to restore "some credibility" and that they did it in style. NewZealand thrased a superior Indian side which looked a wee bit offcolour in the final ODI in Auckland.
Nonetheless, the series went to India. MS's team brought India its first ODI cup against NewZealand in the Kiwiland.
Through the series, India once again proved why they are a dreaded ODI team around the world beating teams like SriLanka, England, Australia and now NewZealand both in India and away.Many back home debate whether this Indian team is the best ever. I for one think this team can become the best ever but they dont own the position now. Batting in all forms of the game seems solid with a complementing opening partners in Viru and Gautham and the middle order is as strong as ever with Yuvi,Dhoni,Raina and Rohit Sharma in ODI and Dravid, Laxman and Sachin in tests.
Bowling seems a bit less experienced but they too are a formidable attack. Zaheer and Ishanth has become a potent fast bowling combination after Srinath and Prasad. There are a number of young upcoming fast bowlers. Spin is taken care by Harbhajan and people like Amit Mishra and Ojha.
Overall this team has the potential to do great things but people should wait a bit longer before tagging them world beaters.
