Love test cricket.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Wow.. almost a Tie.

 

[Plugger35]

Williamson safe, he just got home with that dive.

Another epic finish and another great test win for the Black Caps.

WHAT A FINISH

Long live Test cricket!

Far out!
What a test match. The WK missed the throw his end by CMs. Williamson is safe by inches. What a match

 

[FRUMPY]

Should just play test cricket in NZ

Nice guy Kane with plenty to say to the umps.

 

[Cleavy]

cracking finish!

Dickwella cost srilanka the game

 

[footyfan1978]

Deserved to lose when go for the draw with two balls remaining. Well done Kane Williamson. You deserve all the credit.

Dickwella cost srilanka the game

It was probably a no-ball on height, nose bleed from the ump, but oh well

Not watching this game specifically so only saw what they showed in the aussie game, but interested to know if the kiwi guy was backing up. Would've been the perfect time for a mankad needing 2 wickets off 1 ball.

With 2 balls left they could only tie it. Why wouldn't you go for the draw then?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Maybe the most insane ending to a test this year!

 

[Allezjuel]

Gee New Zealand have been involved in some nail-biting tests lately.

Test cricket is alive and well. Great to see teams being bold and taking the game on for the win when an easy draw is on offer.

 

[Plugger35]

Two of the closest test match finishes of all time happening back to back, quite incredible.

Dickwella cost srilanka the game

His dropped catch off Williamson proved costly along with the missed run out at the end.

Sri Lanka had their chances and were on top for good parts of the match so would be disappointed to lose.

Still could bowl them out. Tie is way more credit than going for a draw. Only bowled bouncers the final two balls on purpose to try to get dot balls but reduced the chance of taking the two wickets. Just not the approach I like so happy to see Kiwis win in that case.

Damn, I was hoping Sri Lanka would win.

What else are they supposed to do when scores are level?

Take the final two wickets and tie it. Would have been way better than two dot ball attempts.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Wow, time for a beer to salute KW.
