fineleg Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 1. When was the last time NZ has won a Test in India? 2. Separate question, has a team comprising either or both - Martin Crowe or Richard Hadlee won a Test in India?
Guest Gunner Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 1. Last time was in 1988. They have won only two tests in India to date, one in 1969 and the other in 1988. 2. Hadlee was there in the '88 game but not Crowe. So they have never won a test match in India with a team comprising of both Crowe and Hadlee. The 88 game: http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63494.html The 69 game: http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63046.html

It is indeed amazing they (NZ) are standing on the cusp of victory with no super player in their current squad.
Karan114 Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 It is indeed amazing they (NZ) are standing on the cusp of victory with no super player in their current squad. I know what you are saying, but to be fair Vettori (4000 runs and 300 wickets) is a damn good player.
fineleg Posted November 7, 2010 Author Posted November 7, 2010 I know what you are saying' date=' but to be fair Vettori (4000 runs and 300 wickets) is a damn good player.[/quote'] Vettori is a very good player. I acknowledge that. But he is no Martin Crowe or Richard Hadlee and I am talking abt the NZ Team as a whole. They have no business having India reeling like this, yet its amazing.
Mr Eintstein Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 All it takes is one player to give the performance of their life at the right time, and history can be made. This is surely not the same Chris Martin we've been watching struggle for the last two years.
