Well done england. Played well. Deserved it fully over all 5 days.


But.


Had new zealand bowled poorer this morning. And england needed to declare. Chances are we'd have ran out of time.....

Fantastic advertisement for test cricket.

Nice to see a test played hard and in the right spirit. No petulance from England bowlers and just an all round positive experience for the fans too!

Awesome grabbing the negatives there.

England 1 New Zealand 0

All the doubters...

Great game both sides

See some are so negative :D

Travis Boult is some bowler, but great team performance by England

If i was not English New Zealand would be my team play it properly from start to finish Hard and Fair play

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 .

Cook made good decisions in this match. With his improved batting technique and field tactics, his confidence will grow as a captain. Plus, he is getting support from his bowlers. He is a tough guy and I give him credit for making this gradual comeback.

Oh hell with ODIs (and the abomination called T-20), Test cricket is the real deal!

Great test match, and what a turnaround from England after that collapse in there first innings. Major positives, especially stokes, and wood whose bowling has given us another dimension.

If our lineup is "fragile" then what on earth do you call your boys?

So if you don't fear NZ's batting or Aussies who do you fear? You are being a bit silly after how poorly your team has been doing in recent times. Anyway, I wouldn't use "fear" as the word to describe it, I would expect that England would respect both teams batsman. I know however, that they fear McCullum and David Warner.

Just a question. Did you put any money on England to roll NZ before yesterday's fight back?

I'm honestly wondering if (He who shall not be named) has snuck into your house and sabotaged your posts.



And the biggest winner was

Enjoyed the highlights of that on five. Thought that Cook's captaincy today wasn't bad at all, and the final wicket trap worked very well.

A great test match all round.

Haha well done England.

We played well and were given a few lives along the way to help. Pretty much threw that game away I think. Lets just remember that England played bloody well. We all know what cricket is like though and we will see what happens in a few days. Great test match, great advertisement for the game.

Made some very good money! You can give me some for pointing out that you called Trent Boult Travis.....

Brilliant game of cricket for the neutral, with both teams playing aggressive cricket be it batting or fielding! Type of test you would show someone who you are trying to convince test math cricket is the one!
