Reminder that the LBW they checked was the complete wrong delivery and that didn't raise any red flags with the third umpire.

Yup, looks true.

Against:
England in Australia
England in Australia
Windies in Australia
NZ in NZ
NZ in Australia

edit - Basically, Australia is always used as the experimental platform.

Realistically, CA is the one willing to take more risks in order to pull in more money.

I feel the Shaun Marsh pain you guys have with Guptill's fraudulent runs against weak opposition. He was out LBW on 70 odd in the first innings but it wasn't reviewed, then he got dropped 4 bloody times today too but it doesn't matter his freebie runs have booked his spot for the return series v Australia where he will fail.

Still rather him than Rutherford.

These last 2 innings is some of the dumbest batting I've ever seen

Some 5 Caltex Star Techron Clean Economy Ratings from the bowling, imo.

Williamson has a knee injury, here we go it's Martin Crowe all over again

Apparently his finger has been hosed up/broken since Australia. There's no reason to play him in the ODIs, imo.

You know something shocking is going on when McCullum is batting the most sensibly against the short ball.

Yikes. My initial reaction was "fair play, it's in the rulebooks" but that really is super marginal.

Glad someone on Reddit compiled gifs of all 5 of Herath's dismissals of Steve Smith during the series:

1st Test, 1st innings
1st Test, 2nd innings
2nd Test
3rd Test, 1st innings
3rd Test, 2nd innings

Captain Kane isn't working, he should have stayed as helmsman.

Who else do you give the captaincy? Surely not Ross Taylor.

Man just a couple of inches off the boundary for that Boult catch or a slightly different angle off the bat and it would have been so different.

At least NZ still have an exciting... tour of Sri Lanka to look forward to still this summer.

Hot take: T20 has a lot of cool fielding moments on the boundary/in the outfield and has probably contributed to fielding improvements in all formats.

If I've learned anything, if Stokes ties this, they win the whole ashes.
