Latham barely moves driving down the ground and it's 17 to win

I was a bit disappointed, I was hoping to get the winning runs without a boundary.

I did notice that one of the English threw at the stumps and it hit one of our bats. Didn't ricochet off to the boundary this time....

Young drags one on off Stone. Two down.

[canefan]

Young played far too away from his body. Cue Rosco to be out in the middle on a famous day

[sparky]

Latham hits a 4. Scores tied. One to win.

[canefan]

Latham gets us to match point

[Gunner]

Scores tied, quick someone do a boundary count.

Will there be a Super Over?

They came to Fortress Edgbaston yesterday and made it look like a bouncy castle..

love an extended bouncy castle metaphor.

[canefan]

Awesome boys!

[sparky]

Latham hits it for 4. Punches the air. Ilford 2nd XI win the series.

[Godder]

Out for less than 200 and win at a canter? Reverse jinx!

[canefan]

What a shellacking

[No Quarter]

A nice little not out for Latham and that will fucking do lads. What a team.

[Paekakboyz]

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!

[Cyclops]

I would have preferred winning by 10 wickets, but having Latham and Taylor out there for the winning runs felt good.

Fantastic result BCs.

As good as he played, I hope Matt Henry isn't there. For me we play with 4 seamers and Ajaz

[No Quarter]

Alrighty. England brushed aside and it's all eyes on the big dance. Going to be so epic. Still can't quite come to terms with the fact that we are in the final of the first ever TEST championship.

We get to play fuck all tests overall, we have none of the resources of the big teams, and yet we've somehow put together a world class team sitting on top of the world.

[sparky]

England were shamby, but the Blacks Caps are a mature, classy, skilful and highly professional outfit. Good stuff!

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.
