Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[Billy Tell]

That’ll do. We knocked the bugger off.

[Catogrande]

Congratulations guys and well done the Black Caps. Not bad for the Ilford 2nd XI!

[nzzp]

Wow, the last few years have made me prouder than I ever expected of this cricket side. We are privileged to have seen this team play for us, to play this well, for this long.

Well done lads, outstanding. I'm really delighted right now, this is just the icing on the cake of an extended period of success

[sparky]

Makes you wonder what Ilford 1st XI could achieve.

And I’m not one to get so caught up on stats in cricket because of the many variables (opposition, conditions, location, timing etc), but Kane and Ross essentially batted their averages to get us over the line. Quite fitting really.

[Crucial]

So glad it was Roscoe hitting the win

[sparky]

Well, Kane, you knocked the bastard off.

Toughest moment for me with NZ Cricket was in December 2012 when Martin Crowe tweeted about burning his NZ Cricket blazer.

This was the high point.

[Gunner]

Black Caps, world test champions!!!!

I would have liked at least one running mix-up just for old times sake.

[SynicBast]

I think I'm going to watch the entire days play again and again, just like I did with the last two days of McCullum's treble

[SynicBast]

I love that BJ still hasn't taken his pads off. What a great way to go out on your own terms and with that Mace.

[SynicBast]

Kylo picks up player of the match in bare feet so newzild

[MajorStokes]

Probably my finest hour.

Thanks guys.

Emotional.

[No Quarter]

I am absolutely speechless. What a privilege it is to watch these guys. Just incredible, little old NZ in top of the world in tests. How the hell did we manage that?

Fuck. Yes. This means more than the CWC. First ever winners, number one in the world. It doesn't get any sweeter than that.

[Donsteppa]

Like last night I unwillingly fell asleep at tea, woke up to Jamieson getting Man of the Match

[Bones]

So it's game, set, match? Who got golden boot?

Yep big shout out to @MajorRage @rotated @ACT-Crusader and @TeWaio for carrying us all home

[No Quarter]

Man this is going to take a bit of time to sink in. I'm pretty emotional haha, just can't believe we are the best test team in the world and have the mace to prove it. And to get the win after losing so much time is even more amazing.
