Over confidence, which the way England are playing, is understandableSomebody has to say it, thats why you dont declare with 2 wickets in hand
And why they needed a reality check before the Ashes, not duringOver confidence, which the way England are playing, is understandable
Foakes' dismissal was fair enough, he backed himself to get the 6 and tie the game given the field, just didnt get enough on itIt was a wide but wow what a game. Gutted for Foakes and all our players but chuffed for New Zealand tbh. Don’t mind losing to them at all. Classy team and classy blokes.
Umpires proper bottled that wide call in all honesty
Actually getting more annoyed about it now, it was well down leg and above head, England only got themselves to blame there 60 runs with 5 wickets and they all fell to the short ballAny other point in the game and it's a wide.
Yeah 100% and hopefully they can use losing a game they should have won in this way as a bit more motivation come June.And why they needed a reality check before the Ashes, not during
Was the wrong shot imo. Hadn’t put a foot wrong till then, he’d kept everything down, he just had to carry on what he was doing. But that’s being ultra critical, he was excellent and so unlucky not to see us homeFoakes' dismissal was fair enough, he backed himself to get the 6 and tie the game given the field, just didnt get enough on it
Hindsight, Foakes takes a single and we probably win 2 overs later.Yeah 100% and hopefully they can use losing a game they should have won in this way as a bit more motivation come June.

So many what-ifs that in my view it’s pointless overthinking it or going back over it, just got to enjoy it for what it is. Gutting the umpire didn’t give it wide, but you could point to any of the singles Foakes turned down or any number of other moments. Just an absolutely fantastic, utterly absorbing Test match.Hindsight, Foakes takes a single and we probably win 2 overs later.
I think whats most dissapointing is that a tie would have been much easier to take for the sake of that wide
If we're gonna lose, at least let it be to the kiwisSo many what-ifs that in my view it’s pointless overthinking it or going back over it, just got to enjoy it for what it is.

Only themselves to blame. Reality check before the ashes. You can’t declare, enforce a follow on and get beat when you need a draw to win a series.
