I remember watching this series and being disappointed in seeing India losing repeatedly to the Kiwis. But months later, in the ICC WC 2003, in South Africa, India beat them comfortably. Sweet redemption!
I still remember, waking up at 7.00 am in India and news reporter updating that India has been bowled out for 108 (happened twice), 123 (happened twice) etc.😂🤣 I started following cricket just one series before where West Indies visited India in 2002. This was technically just a second series. I fall in love with Bond, Tuffy, Oram, Vettory, Styris...... I feel similar pitches and grounds to be there in overall world.. I am more bowling lover than batting in cricket... I like regular fall of wickets...😂
These pitches were seriously degraded by ICC and after this tournament new zealand pitches were batting friendly. These pitches were seriously nightmare for batsman except one in napier
