Nice that New Zealand cricketers are nice. But please remember that they are the champions because they play intense hardcore high quality smart cricket. Don't let the niceness distract you from what a great cricket team that is. Not every captain has to be steve waugh nasty.
And it's really really astonishing that a nation of less than 5 million has done this against a nation of 1.3 billion which did nothing wrong in the whole test match. India brought their best. New Zealand's best was just better!
For me, @BLACKCAPS winning the WTC is one of the greatest sporting triumphs of all time. Especially after the last 2 world cups. There will be books written and movies made about Kane Williamson and gang.
A country with less people than Pune is the world champion of a game played by roughly a third of the world's population.
Let's take a moment to applaud the very #worldtestchampionship itself. It was not an easy thing to plan and execute, especially in the middle of a global pandemic when test cricket is literally the only sport that has teams going to foreign countries for months.
Nations that don't play cricket will never really understand what a big deal it is that we just wrapped up THE most globally diffused sports competition ever! During a pandemic! #WTCFinal
The biggest sports competition in the world, the summer Olympics, was postponed by a year, but @ICC's WTC finished on schedule through a pandemic. Just in terms of logistics, that's mind boggling!
