*Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

As someone who both loves #overrate chat and watches a lot of the game by getting behind and then skipping ahead through balls, I must praise Rabada for being exceptionally fast between balls. Can't even skip 30 seconds ahead.

 

[thierry henry]

Rabada looks exactly like normal Rabada, just bowling no balls

 

[thierry henry]

Rabada also bowling good heat now

Wagner looking like Sangakkara with drives like that.

Wags batting is just amazing. Good time to drop a reminder he notched up a ton in a warmup FC match a couple of years ago

 

[Moss]

Verrry valuable this from the nightwatchman.

I was finding that yesterday also with Jamieson.
Had to skip back the 10 secs,often.

Every time I watch test cricket in NZ I just wish I was there. Such a beautiful country and such great cricket grounds. Can't wait to go back one day.

Wagner also suckering SA into bowling short, when the pitch is giving plenty of assistance to a fuller length as Rabada showed at the tail end three overs ago. Sometimes the shorter length just sits up to be hit.

This over at Nicholls back on the fuller length though.

 

[BeeGee]

I hate nightwatchmen, but Wags as a pinch hitter in this situation is perfect for NZ.

Henry advanced the game with the ball and Wags is advancing the game with the bat.

 

[Immenso]

Wagner is the perfect nightwatchman when getting to the point of starting again the next morning. A two-paced block/bash batsman.

 

[straw man]

Good 50/2 Nicholls, now double it

 

[BeeGee]

Nicholls delivers again.

 

[ataraxia]

Henry and Henry playing well at home Hagley

Did it have FC status? His wiki says he has no FC tons


A test batting average of 13 looks very deceptive going by how he's looked today. Like when Jason Gillespie scored his 200 it still looked like a tailender over achieving. Wagner is looking class

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This Wagner guy can bat.
He needs a promotion

 

[TT Boy]

Lara like from Wagner there.

 

[Chewie]

Does Southee finally bat at 11 in this lineup??

 

[NZTailender]

Does Southee finally bat at 11 in this lineup??

He'll still probably come in ahead of Henry

 

[ataraxia]

Wagner should have a late revival as a T20 hitter IMO
