India have rarely been that dominant since. The designer dustbowl pitches have been replaced by largely batting-friendly surfaces, the visiting batsmen have grown more adept at playing spin and the playing field has become relatively level. Even Zimbabwe were no pushovers when Andy Flower was in full bloom. So the general feeling that New Zealand will surrender tamely might be an erroneous assumption - and dangerous for India.
A couple of things stand out: Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid getting some big runs, and Ishant Sharma and Sreesanth showing some consistency. It's difficult to see New Zealand take 20 Indian wickets; it's difficult to see them bat well in the second innings on turning tracks, and it's difficult to see them consistently maintain pressure with bat or ball over sessions but it's not difficult to see them bat well in the first innings in good batting conditions. watch live score updates and commentry from cricinfo.com
