While the focus has been on Australia vs South Africa (and to a lesser extent on West indies a Pakistan), New Zealand have been able to salvage a draw against England. England must be disappointed, not being able to get the tail out. They were 2 wickets away from victory. With this draw, they have extended their streak of winless test matches abroad.
New Zealand tail-end batsmen can be very tough to get out, especially in home conditions. And this time it was the turn of Ish Sodhi to battle it out at Christchurch. It also exposes how toothless the English bowling attack is.
1st we have to appreciate Neil Wagner god he faced 103 balls and scored only 7 runs (1 four included) can't imagine how he batted. this will tell how poorly England bowlers bowled and Ish Sodhi also played great innings. with this draw, New Zealand won this test series by 1-0.
At least they're putting up a bit of competition and spirit in this game. Last two games played by Windies were pathetic, I'm hoping at least a bit of comeback from them in this one.
The attitude of the West Indies players is the reason why they are performing so poorly. None of these guys want to play for the national team. All they want is money and fame from the T20 leagues such as the IPL and BBL.
The actual problem is West Indies cricket board, They are not giving good support to the players that's why the players choosing IPL and BBL to make some money.
