From the winter/spring shambles a remarkable turnaround in fortunes from the new regime.
3 nil win v the Worlds no 1 Test Team.
That's 3 consecutive run chases as well and none that were too small a number - wonder what the record for most consecutive run chases are?
And from memory England have been on the back foot in two of the first innings eg 55 for 6 in this one - enjoyed this series and NZ seem a good bunch and good sports and series played in the spirit it should - wish it would trickle down to the amateur game as it is rare eg people walking when they should etc
Despite the 3-0 win every test could have been won by the Kiwis.
Played in the right spirit and some hugely entertaining cricket.
Time to give NZ a 5 match test series ?
