Essex & England captain Nasser Hussain is looking forward to the 3rd and final Test Match against New Zealand in Auckland, for a number of reasons.

Not only with an win England can win the series, but Nass himself is approaching a Test milestone.

78 from the captain would mean a magnificant 4,000 runs in Test cricket, something that would be well deserved and in his current superb form, you wouldn't put it past him.

Nasser has also put in some praise for his county colleague, wicket-keeper James Foster.
Foster has been receiving some Unfair criticism uneccessary stick from some quarters about his keeping this term, but Hussain has stepped in to shut-up the critics (and rightly so too), mentioning that Fossy is working hard all the time to improve his game and that England want him.
Well done Nass, because I think the criticism of Fossy has been very unfair considering the circumstances and I think he has kept and batted superbly during the winter for a man of his age.

Foster will rightly start in the final Test, as England go in search of a win that would not only be a fantastic series victory, but would be a fitting tribute to Ben Hollioake.

'Scimitars' will be keeping an eagle-eye on the Essex boys involved and will of course be bringing the news right here.

Good luck to the boys from 'Scimitars'.
