    Root is on 87*, that would jinx him if he was an Australian...

    13 away from test hundred number 25 and 13 away from 10,000 test runs.

    Jinx the fucker !!!!!!!

    If there are any more straws left to clutch please let me know

    I suppose it's a big ask to win a test match when your top four perform woefully with the bat.

    On the plus side, Kane is definitely due in the next Test:

    No point in playing a spinner if he's only going to get two overs in the whole test. (One last desperate reverse jinx to get Ajaz a five-for)

    Well done Root. 10,000 test runs and 25 tons is awesome.

    Two runs to get.

    Christ they couldn’t have done it easier.

    My two cents assuming we don’t get five quick wickets…….

    After amazing starts KJ and Conway are coming down to earth a bit at this level.

    We miss Rossco and BJ.

    We badly need KW to find form. Fast.

    Timmy and Trent might be heading the way of Jimmy and Stuart.

    CDGH summed up his whole career in one match.

    Why the hell was Wags not playing ahead of Patel ?

    …….but despite all this it sux losing to a team as average as this one. Man for man we’re still considerably better.

    Fuck.

    Yeah the glory days are over and let’s be honest they weren’t going to last with our depth.

    Day six at Southampton was even more important in hindsight. Looks like our next realistic chance will be at least a couple of WTC cycles away...

    Is there any sentence which sums up the Black Caps better?

    Bloody annoying that we're performing so poorly this year... we clearly have a very good test team, but the focus/concentration this year has been pathetic, need to bloody wake up & refocus big time going into the next test.

    I’m still pinching myself a bit that we’re test champions.

    But lets be honest, we’re no chance this time round. Without a couple of extreme lesser lights in Mitchell and Blundell we would have been even more fucked.

    There was some very nice bowling too, top order need a long hard look at themselves after that effort though.

    We rode the Wave when we needed to. Take it and run.

    This one was super frustrating. Should have hammered home the advantage batting on day 3, but folded. Capitulating like that is just so annoying

    Three wickets in an over absolutely fucked any chance of victory to be honest.

    That was a great effort by us to win the WTC - a lot of it had to do with each individual doing their job bloody well, therefore we played consistently well in tests... unfortunately it's not the case at the moment, this is the bulk of the team that won the Test Championship though, so there's no reason we can't get back to how we were performing, looks to be more of a mindset thing than anything esle.

    Our top 4 batsmen especially had a shocker, if you get a low score in your first innings at bat you're normally going to be on the back foot for the rest of the match.

    That really stuffed us... peeves ya off when Mitchell & Blundell did a great rebuilding job to set up an excellent platform for the rest coming in.

    Young has scored 13 runs in his last five innings.

    Is his place under pressure once Nicholls comes back and do they shuffle Conway up to open ?

    He’s shown talent but so frustrating he hasn’t yet converted one of his 50s into something much bigger.

    And Latham 31 runs in his last five innings (14, 1, 1, 0, 15)... 252 the innings before that v Bangladesh in Christchurch, but it's fair to say these two aren't exactly seeing off the new ball at the moment...
