yep 0-0 doesn't do this series justice; without rain it would've been 1-1 anyway, fantastic series

If you don't run then it is to your own teams detriment and within your own power. Kicking the ball is inflicting a result on the opponent in which they didn't intend. Silly statement.
Epic innings Matt Prior.

In the words of Terry - "Just about all of New Zealand's greatest triumphs have been draws".

The correct decisions saved England? More like the poor decisions almost cost England...

In all seriousness, New Zealand Cricket is looking up. They have 2 really good opening bowlers (Boult, Southee), a guy who reverses the pill really well (Wagner) and Bracewell, who is a pretty good cricketer. Then they've got Martin as a left arm orthodox spinner who looks like he could form a good spin twin duo with Williamson.
Now how to fit D. Vettori back into that test side... probably drop Martin and stick him in at 8. This is really hard

You can argue from the other viewpoint too. Kicking a ball is to the teams detriment because you gave away 4 runs instead of 1 or 2.
And, this is "spirit of cricket" we are talking about. The context plays a huge role too. In this context, the run would have made a huge difference.
I had resigned to losing the series this morning, but enormously proud of the fight to save the test match and series.
Well done to New Zealand who clearly had the moral victory.
I love Test cricket.

FFS England just beat India in India without DRS. It wasn't why Aus lost 4-0.

No, there's really no two ways about it. Kicking the ball has the potential to directly influence the result of a tight match. The batsman choosing not to run is well within their rights. It happens in every single game when trying to keep the strike. And don't be silly, the ball went out near the boundary. If they chose to run, they would have dawdled through for two comfortably. What's the point when you're 200 runs behind with a couple of balls remaining

Shades of Cardiff 2009. Oh well, as was posted earlier in this thread, now we should be able to win 8 consecutive Ashes series

Gah, what a missed opportunity.
Got to admire the English batsmen. What would be the chances of any Aussie team holding out with 4 down at the beginning of the day?
About none, I'd say.

I was explaining the Monty dive to my brother, went to find footage and there isn't any, saddening.
I'm glad I got home in time for the last 10 overs! As good as they were, new Zealand should have won that.
