That is very cool, easily our best ever new ball pairing.
100%.....our 3rd and 4th seamers make it the closest we’ve ever had to a mid 80s style West Indies attack as well. As if to prove a point Boult has made sure he gets the first two wickets to get himself on the board too !
Francis Payne also tweeted this is the first time Boult has not picked up a first innings wicket in a test.
Useless Plonker
On the slide. Clearly. Had a good career but obviously coming to an end.
Do we need 4 quicks, or should we make do with 3 and pick another batsman? Doug Bracewell's name has been mentioned on the Fern as a possible replacement.
Has it? When?
Makes no sense, that is still 4 quicks.
Or was it Michael?

The Windies might scrape through and make NZ bat again but this will still be an absolute hiding.....again.
Gosh I hope the other teams touring make things a bit more interesting than this rabble.
Pleased for Nicholls, that ton is about as timely and necessary as you could possibly get with Young and Conway breathing down his neck. These selectors are loyal though and he rewarded them ( however lucky it may have been )

I did not say that you were supportive of the move. I couldn't imagine anyone being supportive of the move unless there are injuries.

.......and we're done.
Good shit BCs. Two innings wins in a row and correct me if I'm wrong but this puts us in the rarified air of being the number one rated test side in the world ! Wonderful stuff. What a shame the All Blacks have shit the bed in the last couple of years........a double would have been nice.
As someone said earlier anything less than two comfortable wins against this rabble wouldn't have been a success so good on them for never taking the foot off the pedal and hammering them. Rather unbelievable for our sketchy history we seem to have a 4th bowler at least as good and with the potential to be better than Southee, Boult and Wagner. Nicholls got huge runs when needed after KW was out and Rossco failed. A guy as good as Conway may have to wait a bit to get a chance.
This is just a terrific test team fellas, enjy while it lasts. I don't see any reason why we can't beat all comers this home summer.

All over Wags get the last wicket and NZ win by innings and 12
Top of the world!!! How awesome is that!!
Bloody awesome, something we should lap up while we can.
Wait for the naysayers to arrive though....but Australia this, but India that....
But nothing. BCs are equal number one ranked side in Test Cricket right now!

Feels very much like Wales being number 1 ranked in World Rugby rankings before the 2019 RWC....
