    He's got the heart for it. He's like a man possessed. Now he is going to try and knock Jimmy's block off

      Is there a better 4th innings bowler out there?
      I don’t fucking think so

        Cummings is right. Bowl a Yorker and see if he's paying attention

              All that pressure and Anderson succumbs to a poor ball

                      Now that was a test match. Tension and pressure and outstanding bowling and great batting, screamer catches and dropped chances...

                      ...and no cheating.

                        NZ spinners rarely get a chance to be part of bowling us to victory in the 4th innings. Astle was superb, massive props to him.

                        Wagner is one of the top 3rd seamers going around. Flat pitch, old ball, doesn't make a difference to him. He'll steam in all day long, will bowl himself into the ground if he has too. My favourite player right now.

                        That's a seriously good win in a rain affected match. The masterclass from Boult and Southee in the first innings. Kane and Nicholls absolutely superb, ramming home the advantage. And then Wagner and Astle getting us home in the 4th innings.

                        Just. Fucking. Awesome.

                            Although 2 of Astle's 3 wickets were from short and/or wide deliveries. They all count though.

                                  True but he created quite a few chances.

                                    David Lloyd said it was a good pitch. We batted just fine, Stokes Root and Woakes all batted fine. Most of the crucial wickets in the final innings were forced by our bowling, our aggression and menace. Brilliant

                                        I'm not saying Astle didn't bowl well, he did, just that there was a touch of irony that two of his worst deliveries took wickets. Likely the eyes of the batsmen lit up.

                                          Great win.

                                          Got the declaration spot on, too πŸ™‚

                                          I wondered if they should have picked Sodhi ahead of Astle, but Astle nailed it when it counted.
