5 reasons why New Zealand can whitewash England in the Test series

#3 New Zealand drew 1-1 in England

The two opposing captains - Alastair Cook and Brendon McCullum ahead of the 2015 series.

Back in 2015, ahead of the Ashes, England played New Zealand in a two-match Test series and it produced some riveting cricket, as the visitors stormed back at Leeds to square the series 1-1. In fact, it could have been a much more memorable series had it been longer.

However, the point remains that New Zealand gave an excellent account of themselves with largely the same team and with a few exceptions, England had the same team as well.

So, it is only natural to expect that New Zealand will dominate the visitors, now that they have got England in their own den.

A 2-0 whitewash is not going to be the most surprising result in the world.
