Excellent ball. Set Jos up brilliantly. Played NZ.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Henry bowling bland 76mph while Bumble sings his praises as the next Jason Gillespie...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

2 great tests, on to the decider... oh.

 

[Meridio]

Wooooooooooo!

 

[Pothas]

Played NZ, fully deserved.

Really good series, think I would have taken a 1-1 at the start of the series. Plenty of decent things to have come out of it from and England point of view. Plenty of concerns as well but this is a new side, not going to expect consistency.

***** Ripper!.

Great series and great advertisement for Test cricket.

If someone had said earlier today that Boult, Southee and Henry would have 3 wickets between them when the new ball was taken all of us would have expected a draw. To lose 5 wickets to those spinners at Headingley is pathetic.

To be fair, there's certainly been enough purchase. McCullum deserves a lot of credit for how he's used the two of them, giving them Craig a chance to bowl good spells and settle in, while throwing it to Williamson occasionally to break the batsman's rhythm, as they get used to how much the ball is spinning from one bowler.

And with the big breeze, not really worth using the quicks into it too much.

Padding up to the off-spinner who you'd expect be turning it towards the stumps just about sums us up in this game.

Well done NZ, who have completely outplayed us. But we really have been dreadful once again.

 

[King Pietersen]

Shame there's no decider. Been an excellent, competitive series.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Played NZ. 16 years is a while

 

[Zinzan]

Motm?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Gotta be Watling.

Great series, thought New Zealand were probably slightly better overall but that could be my bias. Kudos to Cook and Stokes for raising their profile and to Root and Lyth as well.

I think all of the Black Caps' batsmen hit a 50 and all of the bowlers took 4 wickets at some point in this series, so it was a solid all-round effort.

 

[Days of Grace]

Yes!!!!!!!!!! 1am in Japan.

5 elementary classes today but I'll be basking in this victory throughout the day.

Slightly bittersweet since we should have won at Lord's or at least drawed.

I remember 1999 very well.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

And Watling for MoM.
