    Amazing first over from Sears especially after the first ball loosener. Had to chuckle when his stats came up with FC Econ of 3.5+ Sumo:" that's a good economy rate"

    NZC could buy seize Royal Grange golf course and then you'd be right at Middlemore train station. Grow the game in South Auckland and piss off rich golf wankers all at once - win win.

    I'm not ruling out a debut for mystery new comer Rengaw, who comes from far away

    Even on an ineffective pitch Santner is more valuable than sp It's back him to score more and to not leak runs

    I mean isn't that retirement by default? "You're turning 38 soon, you're down on pace and you're less effective with the ball. We're moving on and we'll never select you for international duties again, even if we have injuries." Wagner could then feel he's essentially forced into international...

    It was during the test, during a lunchtime interview/profile type thing on TVNZ coverage. Or when they pulled him into the comm box for a stint. Can't remember when exactly but remembered his explanation.

    Wagner himself said this was due to Southee putting him on the boundary and telling him "you're the worst fielder in the team" and then almost immediately took that catch. It was supposedly all banter and in good fun, but you never know what is said to paper over cracks in the face of the media...

    I think it's awful. it's like he decided that trying to have a round arm slinging action for pace would be good to combine with trying to have a high arm action for bounce and seam movement and then get the worst of both worlds.

    Hole in bottom of bat?

    That's a speedhole. Makes the bat go faster.

    Australia probably wouldn't have read it that way either, they just back their spinner and always select em. 4 specialist seamers seems overkill at the best of times. If you can't achieve what you need with your 3 best seamers, how is a 4th going to make a difference. (West Indies not...

    I'm wondering if it's because it's the last test of the season and they want to get a look at how he goes. I don't have high hopes but I don't think it's the worst decision. Better than picking a bowler who replicates what Southee and Henry do anyway.

    Saw this earlier and was going to comment but had to rush for the bus. Like wtf, how could you even mistake the two? Don't think social actually watches cricket Steady as she goes will probably play the same XI and just swap in Sears, maybe Santner for SP. Doubt he'll do anything radical like...
