INDIA WINS OVER NEW ZEALAND after 41 years
India secured their first series win in New Zealand since 1968 on Tuesday despite rain cheating them of a huge victory in the third Test here Tuesday.
The draw at the Basin Reserve was all the tourists needed for a 1-0 series win, breaking the 41-year gap since their last series victory in New Zealand.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said the mood in the dressing room after the long awaited win was "fantastic".
"We have achieved something that is big, but the tough part is to maintain it," he said afterwards.
"I think it will be tougher for the next guys who come here."
As number three ranked team in the world, the ever-improving India were always expected to overcome an inconsistent New Zealand, ranked eighth.
India's star-laden batting lineup and more than competent bowling attack proved too much for New Zealand, with a modest bowling attack and brittle and inexperienced batting line up.
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori said India deserved to be bracketed with Australia and South Africa at the peak of world cricket.
"They're obviously starting to prove themselves away from home," he said.
"I think you can throw Australia, South Africa and India in there as the three best teams in the world, it's hard to distinguish between the three at the moment."
The skipper said his side's patchy performances continued to frustrate their attempts to rise higher up the world Test rankings.
"We've been inconsistent but we've only lost one Test match. I think people have to remember that," he said.
But New Zealand had the weather to thank for not losing a second Test in the series on Tuesday, with the home side poised on the brink of a humbling defeat at 281 for eight when rain led to the game being washed out early in the afternoon.
With only two second innings wickets remaining, New Zealand remained 336 runs adrift of the massive target of 617 set by India when they declared at 434 for seven early on Monday.
By then the series win was a formality, with India needing only a draw after coming to Wellington with a 1-0 lead after thrashing the hosts by 10 wickets in the first Test in Hamilton.
The third Test draw calls into question Dhoni's caution in deciding to bat on during the early part of the fourth day to extend India's lead to 616, although rain on Tuesday had been forecast for several days.
The highest successful Test fourth innings run chase was 418 scored by the West Indies against Australia in 2003.
But Dhoni defended his decision, saying the extra buffer of runs allowed his team to maintain an aggressive field through New Zealand's second innings.
"When you have that extra 80 runs on the board you can have those extra catching fielders hanging around for a lot longer," he said.
"I did not think that 450 to 500 would have been an ideal score to declare."
India's charge towards victory on Tuesday was led by offspinning star Harbhajan Singh, who took the prize wicket of New Zealand century maker Ross Taylor on his way to a haul of four for 59.
Sachin Tendulkar is known as the "Little Master" for his batting, but he showed he also knows a few things about bowling by taking two for 45 with his tricky leg-spinners.
Taylor's dismissal for 107 signalled a mini-collapse that saw New Zealand slump from 226 for four to 253 for seven in the space of eight overs before lunch.
With all-rounder James Franklin, Taylor had provided a ray of hope for the scattering of New Zealand fans who braved gale force winds at the Basin Reserve during the morning.
The pair had put on 142 runs for the fifth wicket after coming together on Monday afternoon, when New Zealand were at risk of collapse at 84 for four.
Taylor's defiant fourth Test century was brought to an end when he was bowled by a beautifully flighted straight ball from Harbhajan.
His 165 ball innings lasting 261 minutes included 16 boundaries, as he mixed watchfulness with a willingness to attack the loose ball.

INTERNET ADDICTION
GOLF Ladies & Gentlemen
It is the internet myth that the name of the popular Scottish game Golf stands for "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden." The word golf originates form medieval Scottish and Dutch dialects. Back in a day before the creation of dictionaries, there was no standardized spelling of any given word. So it is believed that word golf originates from Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" which meant "club." Later on old Scots dialect transformed the word into "gouf" or "golve ."

Khayalo me kisi aur ko la na sake,
Unko dekhkar ansu to ponchh liye hum ne,
Par kisi aur ko dekh kar muskura na sake.
Jab kabhi hamara dil udas hota hai,
Mere khayalon mein tera chehra paas hota hai.
Bolta to kuch bhi nahi woh,
Lekin uski khamoshi mein bhi kuch ehsaas hota hai.
Gham akelepan ka mita to nahi,
Par aane wali khushi ka ehsaas to hota hai.

When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.
In 1939, the aristocratic Lady Sarah Ashley travels from Great Britain to Australia to meet her husband Maitland Ashley in northern Australia. The husband's drover comes to the city of Darwin to bring Sarah to their farm; however, when they reach Faraway Downs Farm, they find that Maitland was murdered. Sarah befriends Nullah, who tells her that the administrator Neil Fletcher is stealing her cattle; has killed her husband; and is working for the cattle baron King Carney. Sarah fires Fletcher and his men and together with Drover, Nullah and a group of loyal employees, they ride together to take the cattle to supply the army and win a tender in times of war. But the ambitious Fletcher has other intentions and uses Nullah to press Sarah.(taken from IMDB synopsis )
