Deep runout in the first innings for a diamond duck, out for a first ball in the second, so its not a king pair, wonder what thats called

[whufc]

Congrats NZ what a series

[The Dark Knight]

NZ need to change the attack here

Phillips doing nothing, give Sodhi and over or two, all very predicable right now

You were saying?

[The Dark Knight]

3-0 F**k off

Ashwin reverse sweep with about 26 left was a terrible shot

The BIG question now is , do India play their India A team and save expenses or the team NZ just brained

Rohit’s shot was worse, and he’s the leader

The England and BLACKCAPS Test teams will honour the late Martin Crowe and Graham Thorpe with a trophy named in the pair's honour.

The Crowe-Thorpe Trophy, a collaboration between NZC, the ECB, and the families of each player, will be unveiled on the morning of the first Test against England in Christchurch.

Made from wood sourced from a bat from each player, the trophy is designed by David Ngawati of Mahu Creative and will be played for in future New Zealand-England Test series.

The bat gifted by the Thorpe family (a Kookaburra) is the one with which Graham scored his first two centuries against New Zealand, in consecutive Tests in 1997, while the one donated by the Crowe family was the GM with which Martin scored his century at Lord’s in 1994.

The first NZ v England test starts Thursday, England have already named their team-
Crawley
Duckett
Bethall (Debut)
Root
Brook
Pope (wk)
Stokes
Woakes
Atkinson
Carse
Bashir

I think it was Jim who commented on the crowd size on day 1 of the Perth Test against India … for reference look at the pathetic crowd on day 1 of the Saffers vs SL test today, looks like family only, even friends haven’t bothered to turn up.

Proteas are 4/54 by the way.

[The Dark Knight]

Yeah it was Jim, Dedja.

NZ have named their team for tomorrow and surprisingly man of ther series v India Will Young has been dropped as Kane Williamson returns.
Latham, Conway, Williamson, Ravindra, Mitchell, Blundell, Phillips, Smith, Southee, Henry, O'Rourke
