"Wagner can pitch it up and swing it too!" just sounds like a thing people say out of habit at this point. He can't really anymore, can he?

Nah he definitely can and has probably *looked* better bowling like that as his short stuff has got slower and slower. Still probably snaffles more wickets with the ugly short stuff than accurate 126kph swingers though.

It's just that when he does that, every ball looks like a slower ball, and it's always wide half-volleys. Isn't incredibly test-level, I might say.

Is the NZ squad of 13 set in stone for the 2 tests (excluding injuries/family reasons etc.), or can we make changes for the squad?

Well batted SL. Incredibly important review by Kusal early on. It changed the match.

Looks like New Zealand can't escape Bazball even after England left the shores.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

This is looking like a shellacking.

They took that dodgy single on the last ball of the session to get the run rate to exactly 5. Kudos

What could be more puerile than a grown nan wishing he was Ross Taylors box.

 

[ataraxia]

The bowling's so bad now.

Lol at the whinge-fest in here, after the ‘mighty’ victory at the Basin.

 

[straw man]

Had meetings all morning so missed start of play (work, seriously ffs).

Are... are... are Sri Lanka bazballing us?

I mean this is exactly the sort of misery vampirism you guys get off on with the PakPassion stuff after every loss.

You must have missed the bit where everyone still said it would just paper over the cracks, selections are wrong and incredibly shortsighted and that Stead must go.

And it should quite rightly be mocked and ostracized.

From cricinfo:

SL 27/1 off 13 overs, then 93 off the next 11.

Mate, the squad is set in stone until Steady as she goes retires to the farmhouse for tea and scones.
