London: Moments after New Zealand stunned India in the semi-final at Manchester, the Kiwi players' wives and families strode on to the Old Trafford turf. It seemed like a familiar get-together for the Kiwis as the players, their wives and kids, all mingled with each other even as members of the Indian team walked towards their team bus.

India's World Cup dream was cut short at the semi-finals and while there will be a lot of discussion about the team's on-field performance, the BCCI could possibly take a cue from one of the New Zealand board's off-field policies too.
