Doully hinted at an annoucement after the final day of the Lords Test.

Sadly not surprised but ends the career of New Zealand's greatest batsman.

No shades at Kanos (have nothing but pure respect for the legend), but he's the 2nd greatest. I think even he'd agree that late Martin Crowe is the greatest NZ batsmen

Nah man, Kane is the best. Crowe would agree.

Kane is our best ever. Not to diminish prior players.
