ON TOP OF THE WORLD: A jubilant New Zealand cricket team led by Kane Williamson celebrate victory in the final of the ICC World Test Championship at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton, England, this morning. Kiwi fans who stayed up all night to watch the last day of the final against India got to enjoy their team complete an eight-wicket triumph to become test cricket’s first official world champions. Chasing 139 for victory after dismissing India for 170 in their second innings, Williamson finished unbeaten on 52 while veteran Ross Taylor was 47 not out and hit the winning runs with 7.1 overs of the day to spare. New Zealand bowler Kyle Jamieson was named man of the match but to a man the team contributed to what is being hailed as the country’s greatest cricketing feat.
