Credit to the Fern for some world class jinxes as well. Fantastic effort all round.
Bro, thank you for your service. Reading through the thread you dropped some powerful jinxs! Even if you seemed to lose the faith with 7 runs to go
I was at the Featherston of all the bars in Wellington! and the barmy army had representation, funny that. Good natured about our win and what an ending!

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???Clearly you don't understand the power of the reverse jinx
100%
Cricket threads (and a few others) are literally upside down land. Quality jinxs and Eeyore-type posts are ferning of the highest order... or is that lowest?

Cricinfo already broke out the by the barest of margins line, it's fairly rare. Second time in Tests (Oz v Windies 30 years ago), and second time in NZ First class cricket.
Australia have company:
I remember that game in Oz, watching cricket in the summer holidays was outstanding when Ambrose, Lara, Walsh and Richardson’s knocked over the Waugh’s, Warnieand Border ( plus a bunch of other players on both teams ) Awesome test match.
The follow on stat is just incredible. Well done BCs

Just saw a Tweet from Michael Appleton with the stats already covered, and also:
-The narrowest win after following on - the other three being by 10, 18 and 171 runs.

Wow, that was special. One of the guys at work, (a BOP rep), pulled up Spark Sport on his spare screen and most of the office watched the last 3 overs. A bit of karma after our tough luck against England and India. Great fightback team. I am so proud of you, after watching you up against it at Bay Oval.

It's an actual margin in this case though. Not zero runs.
Stick that ball up your Baz. More boundaries counts for fuck all in tests.

Well we won bowling first, but not quite in the fashion you would have expected!

Perhaps bowling first and bowling last is our niche.

Great finish. Well done the BCs. A really gutsy performance from a pretty dire position.

That was the test with the Ambrose 7 for 1 spell to end it.

Herald borks it completely. Rates this no 1, and has the WTC victory at No 4. no, no no.
WTC 1
This a close second.

Down and out, the Black Caps have produced a number of jaw-dropping comebacks.

Yeah WTC was a special moment and will probably never be surpassed as number 1 on these lists ever if we win another world cup final, because the WTC final was a fantastic cricket match as well as the final as well as the first win as well as the crowning moment of a golden generation that might otherwise have been remembered for losing four finals.
