**Official** England in New Zealand

[MoxPearl]

why did they take the single.. argh :S

 

[Richard]

Ryan Sidebottom, come on, just get it straight and surely bombs-away?

 

[Matteh]

Southee > everyone.

 

[Richard]

You really know something unusual is happening when Mitchell is posting in CC.

 

[lord brown]

Even Sidebottom can't get it straight now

 

[Richard]

Players back into the field, the game should be done any merment.

Good call.

Only 3 times in proper Test cricket has a batsman have hit more sixes than Southee this innings, 1 of those being Astle in THE innings.

 

[MoxPearl]

ffs

That single...

Game over

 

[NZTailender]

Haha, it ends. What an entertaining final day.

 

[Richard]

Even Sidebottom can't get it straight now

Ohohohohoh yes he can!!!!!!

121 runs!!!!!!!!!!! What a great way to end.

 

[lord brown]

Game over, it was entertianing in the end, and i feel Southee deserved his ton.

Anyway, well done England and i'm off to bed now!

The no 10 Tim Southee already has more runs in test cricket after one test than Chris Martin has achieved in all his tests...

Congratulations to England! Hard luck Southee, next time, eh lad?

Well done again to England and also to NZ for an entertaining series! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now I can get back to my study!

Well done Ryan, the right man got the wicket.


Yet kudos for Southee, hell of a knock.

Should make for a big IPL bid, next time, anyway

Southee with a brainless piece of running has cost himself a century.

And NZ the match.

Sidebottom at last I wonder if it worth getting some sleep or try & stay awake for the India Soth Africa test.

What's more, the best strike-rate of any innings ever played on Test debut. The customary cameras in the dressing-room.

NZ finish with the 5th-highest fourth-innings total in Test history.

I think the match was already well lost TBH

 

[Goughy]

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

Nah, neither was really remotely possible. Was just heat-of-the-moment if anyone believed it was.
