"Test Match cricket is boring? Kiwi's win a thriller!" #wellington #newzealand #newzealandcricket

"After 4 days and fully 2 sessions of rain interrupted Test Match cricket, it came down to this: England needing just two runs for victory, New Zealand one final precious wicket. Seconds later, Neil Wagner is screaming like a wild banshee before being mobbed by his jubilant, disbelieving team-mates whilst James Anderson can only stand disconsolately, looking down at the ground and the bat that had tickled the faintest of possible edges through to the full length sprawling dive of wicket-keeper Tom Blundell.

New Zealand had won, against all possible odds in a following on, come from behind victory for the ages, and for the second time in the entire history of this great and grandest game of all by one, single, solitary run, and stealing from the great Ian Smith from the ICC cricket World Cup of 2019, “by the barest of margins”.

The barest of margins indeed.

My goodness".

Mea Culpa:

I'm sorry Kiwi's. There's a silly mistake in this video and I was blissfully unaware until it hit me but............just look at that backdrop! There's a West Indian band starting up and playing "Kingston Town" on their steel drums as Ironbridge warms up for their day of "World Heritage" celebration, and, well, just look at that backdrop! My mistake wasn't deliberate and this take was too good to delete and not use, so please accept my sincere apologies.

But whilst I have your attention - please buy my book!
