This was their first Test series win of 3 Tests or more since 1999 when they beat England.
They look like a team which is going places, improving and have a wonderful blend of youth and experience. Their batting still shows some signs of vulnerability but their bowling line-up is one that can definitely take 20 wickets against any opposition.
The likes of Southee, Boult and Williamson are the future and have been impressing and gradually improving. The future looks very bright for them in Test cricket.
Should colour blind players also be considered, when picking a pink ball for day/night Test matches?
Which series do you think would weigh more in terms of success and which is more painful one?
Your thoughts on Cricket committee's recommendations on illegal actions and playing conditions?
The ICC Board noted with concern the number of bowlers with suspected illegal bowling actions currently playing cricket and noted the recommendations of the ICC Cricket Committee and the CEC to revise processes to encourage umpires and referees to identify suspect bowlers with greater confidence, to use the expertise of the bio-mechanics working in this area to assume a greater role during the assessment process, and to allow for ongoing scrutiny of bowlers once they have been identified under the ICC procedures.
The ICC Board will receive a further update at its next meeting.
It also concurred with the view that international venues must be set up to their maximum possible boundary dimensions, as per the playing conditions, to help maintain an appropriate balance between bat and the ball.
The ICC Board noted a number of other changes approved by the CEC, which met on Tuesday. The major changes to the ICC playing conditions for international cricket will come into effect from 1 October 2014:
*A bowler who has spent time off the field in a Test will be allowed to resume bowling after he has either spent the same period of time on the field as he spent off the field, or he has been back on the field for 30 overs, whichever occurs first.
*A T20I innings will be scheduled to span 85 minutes, instead of 80 minutes.
*The trial regulation allowing an 80-over top-up of unsuccessful DRS player reviews will be extended for another 12 months.
