*Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
I am no means a fan of dropping a spinner after 1 test because we're never going to build a test spinners skill or confidence that way.

I'm also not a fan of giving a past it bowler another run just as a farewell when he wouldn't otherwise be selected on merit.

at the same time, **** yeah wags, will young and o'rourke. I actually kind of wanted them all to play tbh and it's happened.

Not a fan of dropping Santer if Stead really believes he is our best spinner has to play otherwise you cant expect him to come in when the surface suits and instantly perform after missing mulitiple tests needs consistent game time to develop as a test spinner.
Why not? We expect this of Ajaz, and he delivers.

Hmmm. There was a comment on the Cricinfo commentary which now appears to have been removed from one "G Ghahraman" saying "I hope they can nick one off early and make good use of the Green surface."

EDIT: For those not attuned to NZ domestic politics, Golriz Ghahraman was a Green MP who was recently arrested for multiple counts of shoplifting from upmarket fashion stores.

Well if it was fine to mock Uffindell in the same way Golriz is fair game in my "right wing" opinion.

Notice how everyone in the cordon and inner ring sounds happier with Wagner on.

The peoples' bowler
