It was a giant name @bevoetr with the skipper injured and never been capable of share the bowling load. By no means underestimate the opposition. However the finish outcome is a good commercial for the sport. If a WTC remaining place was on the road they’d have batted once more. #NZvsENG #ENGvNZ https://t.co/Hj2GPwwZSs
