Curators at the Caketin have been on Magic Mushrooms by the looks of it...

And I did lol at the coin toss when the wicket was described as 'agricultural' due to the smell it was letting off..

If you look at the whole ground, they actually mowed in a silver fern. Looks s**t in portions, but impressive when you see the whole thing.

Anyone reckon he was originally dismissed caught and not lbw?

 

[mugiwara]

It will be a great win if Santner can hold his end and allow Kane to bat freely.

 

[SSwans2011]

Williamson needed to take more responsibility here.

 

[SSwans2011]

Williamson with a hundred.

Won't mean much if we can't get the win though.

Great innings, but I think he should have had a proper crack a little earlier. Guess we'll see in this last over.

 

[milhouse1]

Great hit!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gah, he ought to have put that full toss second last ball away. Shame.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Epic finish.

 

[Hellgood]

Another great ODI.

There'll always time for any form of cricket between two strong and evenly matched sides

 

[Doss]

New Zealand should surely start favourites in the Test series.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Interesting run chase happening. In the balance.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Forgot this game was on.

 

[Ben B 96]

Good game that,gutsy knock from Taylor.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Will fox replay this match?

Will fox replay this match?

6am tomorrow morning there's a 2 and a 1/2 hour package on.

Great innings by, Taylor.

 

[Hellgood]

Absolutely immense knock by Taylor and a great game in front of a packed crowd picturesque setting.

I saw a bit of the England innings earlier, Root and Bairstow were going ok but hardly pushing the limits when 1 down 30 overs in probably a few too many dot balls facing Munro and Santner. In fairness to them it still should've been enough (and they did still nearly get bowled out somehow).

 

[Zach Package]

There's something so satisfying about watching Taylor go about his work.

His hands are unbelievable when he's up and going, particularly when he's cutting and slog sweeping

That’s probably in the top 3 best ODI innings of all under the circumstance. Battling cramp when on 110. Series on the line. Coming in at 2/3 when both of your openers get duck eggs and the RRR pushing 8 by the 10th over. Having your captain wrongfully dismissed. And against probably the inform ODI side in the world alongside India. Probably only Gilly and Ponting’s WC final innings in 2003 and 2007 top that.

Still can’t fathom how NZ pulled this off when England were 1/267 odd and NZ started their innings with 2/3

Good call with the status of Taylor's innings being something special, but would have to have Herschelle Gibbs' 175 right up there too.

Turned an absolutely unthinkable target into something that the South African's were in a relatively comfortable position with still another 20 overs on the board.

 

[The Speaker]

Calum MacLeod and Tony Ura could both claim to have had the best ODI century of the past week instead of Taylor, let alone all time.

 

[HBF]

Geez Taylor is a superb player. 48 in tests, 45 in ODIs. Doesn’t seem he gets the recognition he deserves

Probably gets a bit over shadowed by Williamson.

No one cares about them loser associate countries though

 

[Hellgood]

Both sensational efforts, but shouldn't detract from Taylor's innings in such an improbable situation.

 

[BrownYouGun]

Curran is genuinely s**t

 

[corbies]

That is a horrendous drop from Ali.
