Black Caps v England Test series
-
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.

The pressure told and they made mistakes

True but he created quite a few chances.

Good to win a test with nothing but guts, heart and skill
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

Great win.
Got the declaration spot on, too
I wondered if they should have picked Sodhi ahead of Astle, but Astle nailed it when it counted.
I see Sodhi took 7/30 and 5/32 vs Wellington at the Basin.

Would love to see us take both Sohdi and Astle into a match, but that is likely a pipe dream.

Can anyone guarantee @booboo isnt watching or listening in at the moment?
Funnily enough ....
... I walk in from work and Waggie gets Woakes first ball I see
...... walk out for quick comfort stop walk back in and half a second later Anderson gets out ...
Again. It's all down to my timing.
You're welcome.
