poor southee, having to bowl a whole 4 overs in a row

I can't figure out why the **** wagner is bowling this early

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Wagner is the perfect bowler for into the wind duties

 

[hendrix]

Seriously the gap between Southee and Wagner is ****ing huge. Any batsman would be ecstatic with that change.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

none of our bowlers should have a problem with bowling into the wind, they're all swing bowlers

 

[straw man]

Coney on the radio: When confronted by a door, Wagner will try to knock it down; Boult will look for a key.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I sincerely hope Southee isn't injured because this change makes no sense otherwise

Wagner has got a bit more movement since coming back into the side but in no way would I actually call him a "swing bowler".

I was referring to him being lion hearted, a big trier, runs in all day etc

 

[hendrix]

Wagner is rubbish. Not test quality. Worse than Tino Best.

nah disagree. He may be a distinctly average swing bowler, but he's still a swing bowler.

He's always been a swing bowler. I thought your comparing him to Johnson a few weeks back was odd at the time because they really aren't alike at all and this is a similar strange comment. He has always been known as the erratic half mad left arm swing bowler. It's only since coming into the test side he's been thrust into the role of bang it in 3rd seamer, and imo it's an ill fitting one.

 

[kyear2]

Both openers are showing good judgement this far. They just need to keep it up and keep going.

 

[kyear2]

That was nice.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Quite astonished at the lack of amazement from the commentators at southee being off after 4 overs. What on earth is going on?

 

[Hurricane]

He'll back from Boult's end after Boult's spell.

Presumably he'll be brought back from Boult's end shortly - basically a split opening spell

Edit: Beaten

 

[Flem274*]

This is filth. Get Anderson on.

what is the logic in that

 

[Flem274*]

what is the logic in that

Not having to rely on Wagner and Sodhi at both ends.

 

[straw man]

I hope our selectors are watching domestic games very closely this week while Wagner continues to be unimpressive. In particular:
- Bracewell, Milne, Wheeler & McClenaghan in Napier
- Henry and gasp, Bennett in Christchurch
