Eh Boult's not been their best pacer on form for some time now.

Both kinda panauti at the toss tho

I meant Wagner ffs

 

[Zinzan]

On KW's elbow issue, hasn't he had at least a couple of surgeries already? Obviously it's still unresolved. Perhaps his thousands of hours of hitting balls in the nets with his high left elbow has worn any cartilage out.

Ah that's actually true. We might have lost the first test if Wagner was available to bounce Iyer out.

We've had to make that really tough call to rule him (Williamson) out," Stead tells NZC's in-house media team. In what could be a worrying sign for NZ, Williamson could be out "for a sustained period".

Welp

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hope he's back for the SA tour (provided Omicron doesn't see it cancelled). We'll be fine without him vs Bangladesh.

Off topic but I also see that England will come here for 2 non WTC tests in 2022/23.

 

[straw man]

I googled it and doesn't look he has had elbow surgery before. Might be time.

Yep, surely. He's had it heavily strapped for ages.

 

[hendrix]

Would suspect there may not be a surgical solution to the issue.

Kane doing a Big Vern to save his declining away average

 

[OverratedSanity]

Was this the same injury he missed that test in Eng for?

 

[ataraxia]

2.5 hours of delay... that's a very stubbornly-drying field.

 

[Zinzan]

Was this the same injury he missed that test in Eng for?

Yep, and the one vs. the WI at home last season.

 

[Bahnz]

Was this the same injury he missed that test in Eng for?

Yep

Interesting, I could have sworn he did around 18 months or so

 

[Moss]

Would really hope this is not the case. Don't mind him missing the rest of the NZ summer if he can sort it out once and for all.

 

[Moss]

Batting looks wafer thin for this test, Conway's freak injury more and more costly in hindsight. Would back Mitchell to make more than Phillips as the replacement, though Phillips' bowling is more useful here. I suppose we shouldn't rule out the return of Santner as a batting allrounder.

Lose our best player and lose the toss. Just your average away tour.

Lose the Toss when toss hasn't happened. This is next level anti-jinxing ?

I’ve already put 500 dollars on it.

Is it time for kw to limit his involvement in white ball already?
