Full commentary
The end of a test where wickets fell in heaps on the first 2 days and just 2 on the 3rd day. Bizarre test this.
We'll be back in a short while with the man of the match presentations. England take a 1-0 lead in the 4 test series. Who said test cricket between New Zealand and England would be
boring ? Presentation ceremony Man of the Match: Adjudicator Martin Crowe We witnessed a cracking test match and a wonderful contest between 2 good sides Great news for the future of the game Man of the match and the new hero for English cricket: Alex Jeremy Tudor.
I've been working on my batting (understatement), if i get some width, I just flay at it Tough to follow what he's saying I wasn't worried about being on 99 A 100 would have been great, I wasn't really worried Grins when talked off as a future all-rounder Fleming: Didnt bat well enough yesterday, they played very well today I thought it would be 50-50 but Tudor put away a lot of the bad balls, the number of fours he hit We lost it in the session yesterday when we were 8-52 Talks about his dropped catch when England were 60/7 Entertaining series in store
Hussain comes to collect his first cheque as captain At 56/7 what were you thinking of ? I just told the boys to go and fight The boys responded very well, we fought well under pressure
Tudor and Caddick provided the fightback in the first innings Alex Tudor will get all the headlines tomorrow and deservedly so Gives special mention for everyone in the team, I didn't hear
Stewart's name though Tudor 99 not out Just told him not to give his wicket away, he hit the next ball for four, a West Indian swagger .
The last 8 captains for England lost their first match in charge It was a great team performance If Gough gets well, its going to be a tough decision to make, its going to be a nice thing making this decision we're 1-0 up The umpires get their medallions (Steve Bucknor, Peter Willey and Ray Julian (3rd umpire) Medallion for Steve Rouse, the head groundsman of Warwickshire County cricket club That concludes this presentation from CricInfo Join us for the 2nd test at Lords beginning in around 2 weeks time More precisely, beginning on the 22nd of this month
