Also: this cricket brain now belongs to England until October. Except for the #BestSeriesOfThemAll of course.

There is a lot of sport I enjoy. But none nearly as much as a day at a England vs New Zealand test. Just a full day's cricket in which I absolutely don't care who's ahead, I'm just here to see both of my teams play. Already looking forward to the Oval in 2026!

IF we'd held a few more catches in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, this would either be the usual series draw or perhaps even a home series win. That said, the #BestSeriesOfThemAll was great fun as usual. Love the uniquely friendly spirit and the relaxation I only get when my teams play each other! 🖤💙🏏

I enjoy what I'm seeing from Will O'Rourke. End of an era it may be, and I doubt we'll ever reach the heights of Southee- Boult- Wagner again, but our fast bowling still looks in good hands 🙌

Death, taxes, and Kane Stuart Williamson absolutely not reacting when he reaches yet another test century. Definitely our 🐐, and how can you not love the guy?

Matt Henry. Undisputed leader of the NZ test bowling attack after this series, and criminally underrated seamer.

One more opening of the bowling innings for Tim Southee after this. I am sentimental to say the least!
None of my favourite players are allowed to retire in 2025, understood, cricket gods?

Dentury for Mitchell Josef "can play all three formats" Santner, and Will O'Rourke is doing a Jack Leach!
Never underestimate the New Zealand tail. 😉

Friendly reminder we've got Mitchell Josef "Actually a capable bowler with a white AND a red ball" Santner in the playing XI this time ;)

A great (and encouraging in many ways) bowling performance from England making all the difference this time. But don't declare this test over before it actually is... ;)

Ready for the second test of the #BestSeriesOfThemAll, and also all the feels because Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington. My second home for nearly 19 years and unbelievably beautiful on a sunny day.

If this New Zealand side remembers how to catch a ball, we don't lose this test by 8 wickets. Confident we can sort ourselves out by the second test, though, we always do!

Good win for England. Never doubt this men's team management when they select a young player without an outstanding first-class record!

Did I say the #BestSeriesOfThemAll is going to finish 1-1 or not? 😉
Good bowling from England (Carse looks like a proper alternative!) as well as a Harry Brook in imperious form making the difference so far, but don't count us out in a home series.

Remembered Gus Atkinson has a test century. Not something that should happen to a number 9. 😅

I tend to forget how much I enjoy watching New Zealand in our home conditions. We have been simply fun and occasionally fantastic at home in the last ten years.
Home track bullies my arse.

Flat pitch? As if. (Not here for hot takes on NZ pitches from people who don't usually watch our home games)
It is going to get easier by day 4 though. (If it's a typical Hagley Oval wicket)

Just thought how much Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett look like a proper (fun and unconventional) opening partnership these days. Only goes to show - identify the players you want, back them, and they'll get you results.

Dear cricket gods, either let Tim get the 15 wickets he needs to finish on 400, or let him get a century before he retires. Of course it'd be brilliant if it was both!

Only Glenn Philips manages that sort of a dive to avoid a runout.
