Black Caps v England Test series
-
well, she's a funny old game, cricket.
That's a gutsy gutsy display from a few blokes today. Ish and Wagner earned their beers. Good by Latham, Beej and CDGH as well.
Fuck, nothing says NZ cricket like a bit of backbone out of the tail.
Series win!

It’s par for course that a lower order black cap wins/saves a test with the bat rather than the ball..

First home series win vs England since 83/84!
First ever Warriors team to start season 4-0 and first time Spurs beat Chelsea at the bridge in 27 years. What a sporting weekend!

Wow what innings from the lower orders.
Guts, determination, selfless.
And great call by Wagner to go for the review, he probably knew he’d be out but it chewed up enough time for bad light to be called.
I really thought we were fucked 6 down with almost 2 sessions left.
Great stuff, will go down in history as one of the great escapes.

People who don't know cricket just would never, ever understand what happened today. How pumped you can get about a team not even trying to win, just doing everything to salvage a draw. There is so much drama, and such riveting viewing in watching a team deadbat their way to save a test. Faf batting for about 9,000 deliveries to save that test in Aus a few years back is the most i have ever been glued to cricinfo, and i wasn't even supporting either team.
Test cricket is weird

@mariner4life just got trolled by the missus who was wondering why a draw was worth celebrating... started explaining, saw the smirk, then Ish smacked 4 for his fiddy and she was 'that's more like it!' Still smirking!!

Sure you're not because that gets you the stink eye at best. But you're thinking it
