2nd Test: England v New Zealand at Leeds on May 29-Jun 2, 2015

[The Roth]

Eh?? Root's talking big about having a crack :lol:

Despite losing test 1, and regardless of what's happened here, I am pretty happy with the way we've played, and how well we've played

The only crack he is going to have is the bird with the big Bristols in row 10. :whistle

The series had been a good one. Shame it wasn't 3 tests.

:lol:

Has been great test cricket - ridiculous that it's two tests...

It's meant to start raining at about midday in Leeds and keep drizzling until 4pm.

Sorry Kiwis but I think the rain will save the Poms.

Root doesn't know how to have a go

If poms draw this test, Nz slump to 7th in the test rankings

[African Monkey]

7 tests series without defeat now. Not bad for a team like us now. Gutted not to win the series but happy to level it up at the same time.

Great win by the Kiwis, series was set up beautifully for a decider.

Lol @ mighty mighty Ungerlund!!!

And lol @ Root the mouthy smarmy little shit. No wonder Warner jobbed the pretentious little snot.

I'm still f**ked off at the first test....

Of the 10 days of test cricket played in this series we were probably the better side for 8 of them...

And one of those 2 days cost us the f**king series.

Oh yeah - McCullum made some mistakes in test 1, but that's his nature - but we're a much better side than England, and despite the small slide I am more convinced than ever that we are legit as the #3 test side in the world.

This test was astonishing - we made all the running, scored at nearly 5 runs an over, and justifiably smashed them

 

[Twizzle]

Nice work Kiwis but geez that was a spineless batting effort from the poms.

Set up nicely for a decider and just highlights the stupidity of a 2 test series.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Sat up and watched it.

Totally rad!

Seeing Bell, Balance, Root and Cook's dismissals and their faces as they trudged off...worth the lack of sleep.

Im f**cked(as most of us are) that this was only a 2 test series

How good would be looking forward to the 3rd test? Get rid of two ODIs and make a 3 test, its really simple

But now there is 5 ODIs basically right after a world cup. I cant understand that, a 3rd test in England would sell well, especially a live test decider. Not like we are in parts of India or South Africa

They probably want to watch Baz go the tonk in person.

I'm sick of these 2 test series... Even the Windies get more tests then we do.

It was funny reading the English media this morning... "One team looks like it's ready to go head to head with Australia and the other is England..." :lol:

Nevermind... Looking forward to the test series in Australia this summer!! This place is gonna be crazy!!
