The Declaration if not wrong was a tad naive imo,still this brilliant team will learn from this they are a delight to watch.

Always easy with the benefit of hindsight

Yes agreed, but losing by 1 run is hard to take when the 1st innings might of got 20 more runs if carried to it's conclusion or dare i say it 2 runs, still like i said just an opinion,.

And this is why Test match cricket will always be the best in my opinion. F*ck the Hundred.

Really against the declaring situation of a first innings like that. Unless you hitting 500+

Declaring when they did was fine and enabled them to bowl NZ out cheaply in the first innings. The more debatable decision was to enforce the follow-on with their current attack.

England’s attack as it’s currently constituted - three and a bit seamers (two of whom are over 35) and a very average spinner - aren’t going to be able to take the workload of back-to-back innings. Anderson’s 2nd innings average the last 5 years is significantly higher than in the opponent’s first innings and with Stokes unable to bowl much he may be better served giving his attack more of a rest by having a second knock. Given England’s scoring rate they aren’t going to be pushed for time very often.

I have been one of Sam Curran's biggest critics, but the last couple of years he has been absolutely superb.

Playing in the IPL has helped SC enormously - especially his bowling

Yeh I agree the follow on shouldn’t have happened but they way it went it would if more than likely ended a draw lol

Absolutely. A bit more variation to his bowling has helped too. A very important player for England.
