Amazing win

Our top order needs to get its act together however

Exceptional win. No one had us surviving the day but Marsh and then Carey steered us home brilliantly with an excellent cameo from the captain to finish it off.

■■■■■ sake Cummins

I’m in a glass case of emotion.

Fantastic stuff, great win, but let’s not sugarcoat how ■■■■ poor the top order as a unit is. They will escape scrutiny but they shouldn’t…

Congratulations to @Lawry for winning player of the series with match innings from both Cameron Green and Alex Carey after he had them both dropped, hang and quartered.

Cummins is a much better bar than an average of 17.

Called yesterday when we were four down:

No they won’t, people are already talking about it. But the selectors will hold the team for the start of the summer.

They just keep getting it done.

Incredible captain’s knock at the end.

Guys bowling right arm round to a left-hander have to be a lot closer to off stump, unless the batter is right back.

Well they turned it around and they needed to …….both played the innings of their careers

Yes 100%

Beating NZ really is like beating up your own little brother, isn’t it? Only this time we took it easy on them for a while to let them think they were a chance.

This one will really sting. They’ve only got themselves to blame. Bowling on a day 3/4 pitch, they needed another 50 runs minimum. Their batsmen let them down badly…

Not sure the team is playing that well, we are just making less mistakes than the opposition for our last 3 series.

I missed it but commentators said Marsh was dropped out 24…. Easy catch?

That’ll sting em’
