fuck yeah!! Great job lads. Cannot wait till the team for India is named... although I admit I am nervous about what Stead might cook up!
Someone on Cricinfo just pointing out the long range forecast for Southampton is a bit dodgy.
I'm not too worried about Stead - because, barring injuries, I think ten of our XI are rock solid and to be honest I can see pluses and minuses for each of the four I think are in consideration for the eleventh place - Santner, CdG, Ajaz and Mitch Jr.
I think Santner is still the favourite though -
and I can live with it.we have to deal with itFIFY

Pleased for Henry. His early wickets were instrumental to knocking England over so cheaply to set up the win.

As good as he played, I hope Matt Henry isn't there. For me we play with 4 seamers and Ajaz
Don’t worry Henry is absolutely no chance.
Player of the match apparently, but agree anyway.
Meanwhile, since the game finished inside 15 overs, cricinfo comments says it's a refund of today's entry fee.

Can’t argue, a couple of 3 fers is always good but there were handy contributions across the board.

Seems appropriate, well done NZ all test series wins are incredible, but 6 players out is something else

Definitely going to wear the Ilford 2nd XI t-shirt tomorrow at work - fuck being gracious in victory, the way the Poms have gone on and on rubbing in the CWC final has irked me a great deal.
A comprehensive drubbing and probably would have been the second one if not for the weather. Enjoy the moment but please don’t become that which you rightly despise.

What we’d give for a guy like Chris Cairns to address the imbalance in the team currently……
If only there were a hard hitting all rounder with big match temperament and a Kiwi passport in the UK at the moment...
Or a hard hitting all-rounder with a big match temperament and a Kiwi passport who's actually eligible for us and has a good test batting record (but needs to improve his bowling average)....
True. What’s the Neesh up to ?
Throwing darts at a board that has Tim Southee's face on it?
There’s obviously a joke I’m missing, can you elaborate ?
What he said…. 🤨
I'm alluding to a division in the team Southee apparently created by virtue of his swordsman antics inc the infamous in-flight hook-up. A group of players were upset at how his behaviour portrayed the team and Neesham was apparently front and centre.
Grain of salt.

Wasn't that on the way to the 2011 CWC? Neesham was years away from debut. The Taylor/McCullum saga is more recent than that.

Devon player of the series. What an introduction to the test cricketing world
Was he? Good. Google told me it was Burns.

Each team selected their own player of the series

A few minor changes for the final.
India and New Zealand will be crowned joint winners of the inaugural World Test Championship in case the final ends in a draw or a tie, the ICC confirmed on Friday. And while there is a reserve day, it will come into play only if time lost during the five regular days - June 18 to 22 - is not made up on those days. The ICC has also announced that the match will be played using Grade 1 Dukes balls.
New changes to be implemented
The final will be played with the recent changes to international playing conditions implemented - they are in effect in the ongoing Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka series too.
The third umpire will automatically review all calls of short runs by on-field umpires and communicate the decision to the field umpire before the next ball is bowled.
Before reviewing an lbw decision, the fielding captain or the dismissed batter can check with the on-field umpires whether they thought a genuine attempt was made to play the ball.
For lbw reviews, the height margin of the wicket zone has been lifted to the top of the stumps to ensure the same umpire's call margin around the stumps for both height and width. -
Back to where we belong...
