Good test match, stokes has potentially re ignited English cricket.. However NZ bowled more poorly than expected, very disappointed in them.
Cooks runs have answered his batting woes but his captaincy is still hanging by a thread
New Zealand bowled well and as "Smithy" said threw the kitchen sink at Cook...
One of the greatest matches by two attacking sides.
I have a different take on it and maybe the ECB planned it very well we played against the most attack minded side and fought them this time and won this is the brand that wins Ashes. As Nasser said the positive energy from Nz rubbed off on us...
Cook captaincy hangs by a thread who says this the crowd don't and certainly the players either.
I smell fresh air we just beat a very good side but we can't please everybody the test proved everything bar any negativity.
If you pick negatives out of that game maybe cricket isn't for you .
