A distinction indeed.

What do you make of this statistics?

Not only have India had just one Test series victory in New Zealand -- way back in 1968, under Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi -- they have not even won a Test match there for more than 30 years stretching back to 1976.

Will you categorize it as a distinction or a dubious distinction?

OTT its certainly is dubious distinction...but things are different now...we have got the bowling and we are not soft travelers anymore now...add to it the not so penetrative bowling of NZs...

though i wonder why we dont play with them regularly...?

I believe we postponed a couple of series against them SP in favor of series against Aus with more ODIs. Disgraceful that.
I wonder why nobody is talking about how weak they are this time, I mean everyone talks about how strong we are. It seems to me that nobody wants to say something they'll regret later.

Its not surprising when u note that India's recent wins in West Indies and England were also achieved after many many decades...

India have been poor travellers, changing the trend slightly only in the last couple of years..

Sahcin wasn't wrong when he said 'it will be tough'.

This entire NZL team deserves to play in the ICL.

Not that it will make up for the Lahore Badshahs, but they've earned it.

And Larsen n Harris n Bond will all smile their weak half smiles. Be one big sickly affair.
