I love the aesthetic of the test cricket grounds in NZ. Feels like you could be out walking your dog in the neighborhood park and just happen to stumble upon an elite cricket match.
That was an epic ending. The winning run scored by inches that was only possible because of an earlier boundary scored by inches. Nothing better in cricket than a test going down to the final balls.
A major reason for that match being so exciting was because Sri Lanka needed to play for a win to keep their test championship hopes alive. Their loss sets the final as Australia vs India in London. Was a clever move to have the championship final in England as it will always ensure a neutral ground...
