No that change to DRS interpretation works the other way around. It was changed to give bowlers more of the stumps to hit assuming the Ump gave it 'not-out'.

patel not generating any turn to faf is weird

I want to see Santner get a crack at Faf, I think he might trouble him with the one that slides on with the arm.

And another dropped chance. I now count 19 in our last 3 tests. Someone needs to lose their job for this.
I'd still rate Wagner below Boult, who's been excellent this season after recovering from his back problems. Saw that Wagner is now in our top 10 all time wicket takers. Could easily go past everyone save Hadlee, Vettori, Southee and Boult by the time he's done.

I still expect him to have one bad test and get dropped.

Intuitively I probably think Boult too, but jeez when you consider Wagner's taken his wickets at under 23 in the last 2 years and Boult has been above 30, it's hard to say.
I would say in the right conditions and at his best Boult has his number, but day in day out, I'll take Waggers now.

Except that wasn't what we just saw. Wagner's dismissal of Duminy saw the ball 2/3 hitting the stumps and yet it said "umpire's call" on ball tracking. Which is weird.
You also haven't understood what I was talking about. If it's "umpire's call" when less then 50% of the ball is hitting the stumps, that's assuming a confidence interval of 50% ball width. Therefore, if the ball is shown to be missing by a small amount (i.e. less than 50% of the width of a cricket ball), it should also be "umpire's call". But it's not: as soon as the ball is shown to be missing it's given not out. That rule has not changed and is stupid. If you're going to have confidence intervals it needs to apply both ways,

You mean it should have just said, 'hitting' rather than 'umpires call' on Wagner's wicket?

the problem with jeets:
he's pretty accurate but not metronomic
he bowls quick and flat, but not as much so as someone like Jadeja
he gets decent revs, but doesn't give it a rip
he's a no-man's land spinner.
