Black Caps secure historic series win in the West Indies

The Black Caps have created history by winning their second ever Test series in the West Indies today.

On a topsy-turvy final day, Brendon McCullum's team joined the class of 2002 as they won the third and deciding Test at Bridgetown by 53 runs.

The 2-1 series victory is also significant for another reason. It is the first time New Zealand have won three Test series in a row against major Test nations since 1986/87.

"We're really thrilled with how we've managed to come out of this series with a win," New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum said. "This series is groundbreaking for this group. We're very proud of what we've been able to achieve and I can think of worse places than Barbados to be able to celebrate it."
