New Zealand pacer Tim Southee had a farewell to remember. The veteran speedster had previously announced that he would be retiring from Tests. And his side gave him the perfect gift as the Kiwis thrashed England by 423 runs in Hamilton in the NZ vs ENG 3rd Test.
While England had already won the series by winning the first two Test matches, the third Test win was a consolation nonetheless. However, it was more importantly a sendoff for the retiring pacer. And now with this win, the Black Caps have gone on to take the 4th spot in the WTC Standings.
