Was asking myself the same thing TBH, but think I'll stay up for however long this post-match stuff lasts, then head to bed and get up at 8 or so to get myself to bed nice and early and get back in the "normal" (ie, bed at 11:30-midnight) routine. Worked a treat in the ODIs.Sidebottom at last I wonder if it worth getting some sleep or try & stay awake for the India Soth Africa test.

Absolutely. Mostly two flawed teams make for the most fascinating cricket. See also: England vs South Africa in all series bar *EDIT* 2 since readmission. See also: The Ashes 2005.

Lets be fair. This series was interesting heavily due to the mediocrity of these 2 teams.
England did well to come back and NZ did very well in the 1st Test. Positives for both sides but they are still heavily flawed teams.
Well done England and as one NZer departs a possible new talent emerges. The Circle of Life
Yeah 2 poor teams, as I have said in another thread New Zealand's poor form is explainable due to loss of players to retirements, injury & ICL - England's is not so easy to explain.

Ah, ill as the summer draws to a close - a horrible feeling.Well for a little whileyet no sir I am ill, managed to sleep till 1 to see us 9 down at lunch.our tail played as well as they could've really. the first innings was the real clincher. But as I said at the Basin "Take it out on Sinclair"
Yet now, this is the signifier that our summer is about to start.

I seriously hope someone, somewhere stuck a bet on Chris Martin being involved in the 2nd-highest Test 10th-wicket partnership in the 4th-innings in history. If they did, they'd surely have won lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots.

A big burly left-arm seamer who was around the NZ team for much of the 1970s. He yorked Boycott for a big duck-egg at Wellington in 1978 to help us on our way to our first test victory over Mother England.

No, not who the ****, where the ****. I know about the famous Boycott ball and I know he was a damn good bowler - but his partnership with Hastings wasn't listed on that list.
Aha, now I see. Highest in the fourth-innings.
