Wellington:  Describing India as the "wobbling World Champions",
the New Zealand media on Saturday, hailed the Black Caps'
comprehensive 4-0 win over the visiting side in the just-concluded
five-match ODI series.
India slumped to their worst ODI series defeat in New Zealand after
their crushing 87-run defeat in the inconsequential fifth and final
ODI on Friday and the media here basked in the glory of a rare
triumph by their national team. (Also read: Dhoni at a loss to

"The rout was completed in style. New Zealand's most complete
one-day cricket series performance against quality opponents
ended with some capital punishment in Wellington," a report in the
'Dominion Post' said. (Suggested read: McCollum claims ODI series

"If games one and two were eye-rubbing upsets, then this was
acceptance that New Zealand had blown the wobbling world
champions off the park, sealing the series 4-0 with one tie," it said.

A report in 'New Zealand Herald' described the 4-0 rout of India the
best in the country's cricketing history.
"Tales of New Zealand cricketing triumph tend to be rare. The 4-0
one-day international series victory over world champions India is
the best in the sport's shorter forms since the 3-0 Chappell-Hadlee
trophy defeat of then-world champions Australia in February
2007," the report said.
"The crowd's euphoria rained upon Brendon McCollum and his
team, and deservedly so. Standing ovations were the order of the
evening; fans know quality when they see it. The smiles were
indelible."
India play a two-day practice game against New Zealand XI from
tomorrow at Whangarei before the two-match Test series begins in
Auckland from February 6.
