Black Caps v Pakistan

@Tregaskis said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
@No-Quarter Wags is magnificent. I love the guy. He looks like he is trying at least 10% harder than everyone else. And his aggro is genuinely paying off. His average is now better than Boult's and I think he's 6th all time for NZ (min. 50 wickets) on averages and 12th on wickets (should be up around 8th by the end of the summer unless Boult or Southee pig out on the Bangles).
Very hard not to love the Wag and his work. Is he first name bowler picked now dp you guys reckon or is that still Boult?

@MN5 Boult may still be the spearhead but when the pitch is doing very little and you need someone to bend their back to try and make things happen Wagner is your man
Yup, I think both are equally important now. Neither can do the job of the other. We need Boult to exploit swing and seam, and we need Wags to break his back with the old ball. He just doesn't give anyone an inch, regardless of the conditions.

I know that is is unfashionable on the fern but this is a pretty good match return.

Agree about the Wag sentiments though. Just tries so hard and usually reaps the rewards for his efforts.

@MN5 We have a 2 test series against Bangladesh and then a 3 test series against South Africa. Taylo will miss Bangladesh with this eye operation but.
Plentry of ODI's and 20/20 amongst all that.
Bring on Sunday!

Hmmmmm Plentry. I like that word, I'm not going to correct it! It is like a full pantry of cricket

@MN5 off to Aus on the 4th December for the Chappell-Hadlee Series, then back home for Bangladesh, Australia and South Africa.

I remember him during the Indian tour of NZ a few years ago. He is a real spark plug, a throw back to the days when fast/med bowlers actually made you believe they wanted to hurt you. That bouncer that hit the guy in the head was a great ball. He ducked into it though and it could have easily been a Phil Hughes situation as he wasn't wearing the extra attachments. Why they aren't a permanent part of all helmets now is beyond me

Great return and my MOTM. Not too bad economy rate of 3.1 for bowler that is not really a line and length guy and can be known to be wayward.
