NZ's strategy of relying on one player making a good-to-great hundred each game took them surprisingly far, but overall England have more depth. NZ lack a true all-rounder, though Santner isn't far off on those performances. Sadly, he's out for some time now. <br /><br />I'm off to Christchurch over Easter for the first three days of the second test, so I hope that our weather holds until then.Peter Hoarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787338137200532386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111954708286392671.post-91575023786952768762018-03-18T23:55:19.156+13:002018-03-18T23:55:19.156+13:00As is the way of things, I was obliged to sleep th...As is the way of things, I was obliged to sleep through most of it but was up in time for the climax.<br /><br />It was a great series.<br /><br />Broadly speaking I agree with you about Stokes (although I've managed to avoid knowing what he said about Katie Price's son), but then we live in a world where someone can mock the disabled and still be elected President of the United States.<br /><br />Typing this as snow falls outside my window.
