Surely not even the BC 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

Here is the article. Pretty brutal on England while lavishly 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Outdated stereotype.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

[sparky]

Latham has got his 4000th Test run.

[canefan]

21 to get. Young takes one in the cods

[Godder]

"Here's Tobias: "Really wouldn't want to be Gary Stead right now. The selection dilemmas for New Zealand ahead of the WTC final are enormous. This strength of depth is definitely a good problem to have especially given how well Young, Henry and Patel have preformed in this match. I'd almost back a side that will have Jamieson at No. 7, Wagner at 8, Southee at 9, Patel at 10 and Boult at 11. A real shame for Henry because I'm sure he won't get picked." Think I'd prefer to be Stead than Chris Silverwood, though"

From Cricinfo's commentary, can't argue with that last sentence...

[canefan]

Broad has it moving big time
