Lol your timing is impeccable innit? You're nowhere to be seen when he's ripping through sides like no other 1st/2nd change bowler in the world in the last 3 years, yet ready to pounce as soon as he bowls a wicket-less expensive spell.Oh hey it’s Neil Wagner time let’s undo all the pressure NZ’s best two bowlers have created.

Does seem surprising others don’t try it more - he’s not Johnson pace so I imagine it would be easier to control aggressive shots off his bowling than it is for a 140kmh guy trying the same thing.

it's not the pace, it's the persistence and the direction. Neil Wagner can quite literally bowl an 8 over spell of bouncers if he feels like it, and most of the time they're proper bouncers not floaty ones. Mixed in with some yorkers and short mid off drive bait (which he's forgetting today) and it's really tricky as a batsman to execute controlled aggression for 8 overs straight to balls requiring good control.
Seddon Park and Eden Park are a bit easier to attack bouncers on as well because of their size.
Today he's obviously bowling poorly.

You mean the man of the match from the previous Test who was the biggest factor for NZ being 1-0 up leading into this 2nd Test?

Wagner probably receives the least amount of criticism on CW, in most eyes here he’s always on which is far from the case (as we’ve recently seen). You might not like what I’m saying but you need to hear it.
