4th win after following on, second by a run.
Who's your man of the match? Kane for holding together the second innings? Southee for some key wickets and first innings hit out? Wagner for dragging us across the line? Brook or Root for their batting?
You'd have to go Root. 2 x tons.

Root scored more runs, albeit in a losing effort. I'm sure Root is happy to pass on that award

I think I heard on the radio KW got it.
Root deserved it though.

I think it's got to be Williamson. Critical runs, huge partnerships - really made a difference.
Never seen so many edges fall safely, it's been amazing.
well he did get it, so chocolate fish for you! Probably the only thing left you haven't tried to cook/bake

Brook player of series, probably lucky he was runout without facing this morning (from a NZ perspective)

Yeah what a funny test from that perspective. Two stupid avoidable run outs…….( well, I guess all run outs are avoidable )

Haven’t had a chance to comment until now but WHOOP WHOOP. Talk about hanging on in there.
Wagner you hero.

So Bazball is not the answer now?
But Undercover Agent Bazball worked a treat…
A 5th day bowling spell for the ages. A chase that had they scored 2 more runs would’ve been equally impressive given the conditions and the quality of some of the spells.
Glad the test started after 2 and a half days!

Well you know if anyone gets bored and needs a laugh, just go back over the comments and read some of them, BCs can't win, they useless get rid of most of them, and then see the end!!
That is no way a dig at anyone, just it's a good read, we all are experts (and I mean ALL) until we are not.
C'mon a great day for test cricket and cricket in the country, we all get a chance to believe again!!! That is just amazing, and one last question how bloody boring is test cricket??? -

But yeah, test cricket is the best by far

That was a pretty cool test. I thought we were done for when Southee left his return so late. Still reckon that decision was crazy.
I think this team could do a lot better with an attitude that is 50% more attacking. We don’t have the crew to go full bazball. But this made me h..h..h..h..happy. -

Black caps have brought me so much pleasure with unexpected victories. WTC won't be topped, but this is a close second I reckon.
Even better as we were well behind compared to Tauranga. This was back from the dead, ridiculous victory
