"I dont understand the sharing the trophy during a draw thing? Didn't one of the teams simply hit more boundaries? Seems weird to see an England team sharing a trophy".
Still carries an ouch, even 6 years on.

It’s every kiwis duty to ensure the hatred flows through each subsequent generation

was a good series of cricket but by fuck didn't both sides go out of their way to prove how genuinely unlikable they are?
The worst thing Australian cricket ever did was show the world that to be really successful you have to act like a complete fluffybunny. -

Probably because India crushed that stat across the series.

Ben Stokes is such a flog. I hate his stupid ginger haircut and his stupid ginger beard and his stupid self appointed ginger moral arbiter of the spirit of cricket. Get fucked i hope you lose the Ashes 5-0

I don't get the Stokes hate. Him and McCullum (both kiwis ...) have inspired this team to greater heights than the sum of their parts probably deserve. He gives 100% in every single game, which does get him lauded somewhat perhaps more than he deserves, but isn't that what every single sports team wants in their Captain?
He's my son's hero, and honestly, I can't see a lot what wrong with that.

He’s pretty overrated as a player but capable of big moments, very selfless and seems like a good guy who plays the game the right way most of the time.

The Son of Dion Nash and Bernice Mene in the team too.

Predictable hiding here and Jadeja having a match and a half. Statistically ( with batting and bowling averages of 38 and 25 respectively ) he's up there with the absolute best all rounders of all time ( although the bowling stats are certainly inflated MASSIVELY by playing on Indian pitches so often )
Just ten runs away from the 4000/300 double. Brilliant player. Only Kallis beats him in terms of modern players in my opinion......home and away bowling stats of 20 and 36 will always raise questions though.
Windies as expected completely outclassed, they have a couple of excellent pace bowlers, vaguely promising all rounders but that's about it. Woeful top order. They will get murdered in NZ later this year.
-
India pick the same team.
They're crushing the Windies again, but I wonder about their selections.
Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sundarsan and Shubman as specialist batsmen
Jadeja, Durel, Reddy and Washington as allrounders.
Kuldeep, Jasprit and Siraj as specialist bowlers.
Lots of bowling, a couple of keepers - the batting looks a bit light against the best teams.

One of those AI generated things…….but pretty accurate ( aside from proof reading the NZ bit )
Australia - yes
India - yes ( although Kapil Dev usually gets a mention in things like this, Sunil Gavaskar worth a mention too )
Pakistan - yes
South Africa - yes
Sri Lanka - yes ( although Kumar Sangakarra gets in if Murali is found to be a chucker )
Bangladesh - yes
West Indies - no ( You'd have to go Gary Sobers, could argue Brian Lara, Malcom Marshall, Curtly Ambrose and possibly others )
NZ - yes ( although will assess for sure once KW has retired )
Afghanistan - I presume so
England - no ( WG Grace, Sydney Barnes, Walter Hammond, Jack Hobbs, Len Hutton possibly more deserving )
Zimbabwe - yes
