INDIA THRASH NEWZEALAND BY 10 WICKETS IN ODI SERIES

Virender Sehwag smashed the fastest century by an Indian to lead his country to a crushing win over New Zealand in their rain-shortened fourth one-day international at Hamilton on Wednesday.
Sehwag pounded an unbeaten 125 from just 74 balls to help India pile on 201 without loss in less than 24 overs when a fifth rain delay forced an early end to the match.
New Zealand had made 270 for five from their 47 overs but India, who were 84 runs ahead of the par score when the match was abandoned, were awarded a 10-wicket victory under the Duckworth-Lewis method.
The win gave India an unbeatable 3-0 lead and their first one-day series victory on New Zealand soil in 33 years, with Saturday's final game at Auckland still to be played.
Brendon McCullum and Peter McGlashan both blasted half-centuries as the Kiwis went on the rampage, chasing quick runs in their own innings, which was twice delayed by rain.
McCullum belted 77, featuring seven fours and two sixes, off 95 balls, while McGlashan made an unbeaten 56 from 42 deliveries and Grant Elliott chipped in with a quick 35 not out, but to no avail.

KYLE MILLS VIEWS REGARDING INDIAN CRICKET TEAM

New Zealand's most experienced pacer Kyle Mills is "staggered" by the wealth of talent in the Indian batting order but remains optimistic that the Kiwis would be able to contain the rampaging visitors by bowling dot balls.
"It is an extremely talented batting line-up. You have somebody like Rahul Dravid who can't even make it to the line-up. It staggers me.
"Their bats seem to be made of something special. We have to try and bowl a string of dot balls and put pressure on them and break their momentum," Mills told reporters ahead of the fourth one-dayer here tomorrow.
"I look back at some Aussie teams, with Gilchrist and Hayden both in form in the same innings. It was pretty tough to bowl at them. But at the moment there is (Virender) Sehwag, who some say is in the form of his life. Then you have (Sachin) Tendulkar and (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni. You get a wicket and another very strong batsman comes in," he added.
Mills also feels that he had let his team, which trails 0-2 in the series, down by not taking wickets early in the innings.
"We had really specific plans against the batsmen, and we executed them really well in Australia. It is pretty obvious we haven't been executing them here, and we have suffered the consequences. But the plans are pretty good in general."
