Great team effort from the NZ bowlers.

This from Cricinfo comments -
Praise for this NZ side that is strong enough to have made six changes from Lord's and still mopped the floor with the home side. They came to Fortress Edgbaston yesterday and made it look like a bouncy castle... the only real question for this morning is how quickly England can be deflated and folded away,

Win by 10 wickets before lunch?

[Crazy Horse]

How embarrassing will it be if we make hard work of the chase? Please do it in a canter. Please.

[sparky]

Surely not even the BCs can fuck it up from here?

Probably not but 26 is still our and the world record low score...

Here is the article. Pretty brutal on England while heaping praise on the Black Caps

Fair enough. We’re good and they’re shit.

Outdated stereotype. We’re a world class team now.

[sparky]

Fair play to the Barmy Army for making a lot of noise for their team even in these circumstances.

[Gunner]

Latham just 6 runs away from 4000 test runs according to the cricinfo commentary.

[sparky]

Joe Root would be playing for the draw in these circumstances.

Hard to forget the old memories. There's a lot of scar tissue there. These boys are doing a lot to heal the wounds of all those ill fated English tours

[sparky]

Conway pushes at one. Caught behind. 6-1. 32 runs needed for NZ. 9 wickets needed by England.

[canefan]

That's a shame for Devon. He'll be disappointed but he's done the hard work. Time for the others to finish this off

[MN5]

Aw fuck, was hoping for a 10 wicket win.

[Crazy Horse]

My scar tissue is starting to itch.

[canefan]

28 to get

[sparky]

NZ 15-1. 23 more needed.

[canefan]

All of the non playing squad have dressed in their whites. Looking the part when making history

[canefan]

We have never won at Edgbaston apparently. I'd rather we go out in style than with a whimper
