Despite defeating their fiercest rivals for the first time in 26 years, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 coach John Wright is not getting carried away and wants his team to build from such important success.

The second Test win on Australian soil was their first away win in over two decades which showed that the team is finally coming to terms with a transitional change in their setup. After performing well in the ODI circuit, the Black Caps had an appalling
record in the longer version of the game which prompted a shakeup in their overall structure.

"It's a bit early to tell," Wright said. "People tend to get a little bit carried away with victory. We'll let the dust settle. We'll pick our best side and try to get another win against Zimbabwe. Then we've got South Africa coming, who are very formidable
opponents. Let's hope we can show some of the fighting qualities that people saw."
