Looked like a football score there for a while

Southee looks the bees knees by the way

New Zealand are guff.

Having had England by the knackers early on, they have proceeded to chuck it away after being 103-1 in reply to England's poor 1st innings total.

They just can't bat and with Fleming now retired they really will struggle you'd think.

A team in disarray losing players to retirement and the IPL.

They've still punched well above their weight in recent years though (isn't their population smaller than Scotland or am I just making that up?)

England should have won all three tests but there is no consistency from their batsmen and better teams will punish them for it.

Just over 4 million according to the page I just looked at.

About 5x that number of sheep too

Their lack of recent test match action (something like 2 tests in 18 months prior to this series) is an indicator of the current lack of depth in their squad for the long game format IMO.
