Proud, just really proud, would describe how I felt on Friday evening.
In my job, it's seldom you just sit back and take in a performance as a fan but right now my feelings towards this current Black Caps are just that. Right now, I feel like a fan of
the team.
As a New Zealand cricket fan, one can be a little fatalistic. With every win, you feel that little bit closer to being let down once again.
I feared this England team. Sure, they've been out of sorts of late but don't forget the English were poor at the hands of the very good Australians and, on paper, have a very capable side.
But the Black Caps proved on Friday that, yes, they are the goods. Even if England are down on confidence, to spank them in that fashion showed not only a high degree of skill but also a ruthlessness all great teams must have.
