Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[sparky]

NZ win by 8 wickets.

[TeWaio]

YYYYAAAASSSSSSSSS

Finally we will get our respect from the "Big 3"

[rotated]

Incredible. Take a bow. Never ever thought this would be possible.

[pakman]

'Blessed day'.

[ACT Crusader]

Great stuff Blackcaps. Great stuff Kane.

One of the more stranger tests I’d have to say,

What a moment.

What a team.

What an era.

Legends.

Never thought I'd see a better NZ team than the '83 team, but this one is.

EDIT: Not a great cricket follower these days, but the spirit between these teams is great to see. Virat Kholi was all class when NZ won the game

[Virgil]

Pretty happy with that

[SynicBast]

This is really hard to type. There's a fucking khamsin in my room right now.

They can never take this away from us.

Oh, and Tim Paine: You can fuck right off.

[Billy Tell]

That’ll do. We knocked the bugger off.

[Catogrande]

Congratulations guys and well done the Black Caps. Not bad for the Ilford 2nd XI!

[nzzp]

Wow, the last few years have made me prouder than I ever expected of this cricket side. We are privileged to have seen this team play for us, to play this well, for this long.

Well done lads, outstanding. I'm really delighted right now, this is just the icing on the cake of an extended period of success

[sparky]

Makes you wonder what Ilford 1st XI could achieve.

[ACT Crusader]

And I’m not one to get so caught up on stats in cricket because of the many variables (opposition, conditions, location, timing etc), but Kane and Ross essentially batted their averages to get us over the line. Quite fitting really.

[Crucial]

So glad it was Roscoe hitting the win

[sparky]

Well, Kane, you knocked the bastard off.

[SynicBast]

so did the ferners here who kept doing the right thing....wallow in it peeps, we deserve to celebrate this one long and hard

Toughest moment for me with NZ Cricket was in December 2012 when Martin Crowe tweeted about burning his NZ Cricket blazer.

This was the high point.

[Gunner]

Wow, what an awesome feeling waking up and opening up cricinfo.

Black Caps, world test champions!!!!

Fucking amazing

I would have liked at least one running mix-up just for old times sake.

[SynicBast]

I think I'm going to watch the entire days play again and again, just like I did with the last two days of McCullum's treble
