Southee dropped for Patel ?!?!?!?!

Fuck off Black Caps, just FUCK OFF.

If the tactic was to play two spinners then Southee is the obvious one that misses out given Wagner and Boult have been significantly better in the past few years. Fair call IMO, I'm really glad they kept Wagner.

Agree. To be fair on @MN5 though, he doesn't get the intricacies of test cricket.....

Well at least we'll lose quicker cos Patel gets through overs more rapidly than Southee

[Hooroo]

@MN5

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh now.

[Bovidae]

Patel already bowling and looking dangerous in his first over.

[Gunner]

I'm much happier with Neesham in the side than CDG.
But not so with Patel over Southee.

Expecting a dust bowl are they?

[Hooroo]

VAGNAR!!!!

So stoked to see the back of Amla!

[Virgil]

Neil!
Very happy they dropped Southee, not sure why @MN5 isnt surprised by this move.

[Hooroo]

@Virgil and isn't Patel bowling poorly! 7 Overs at 0.42 runs per over!

Creating that little thing in test cricket

PRESSURE!

[Hooroo]

VAGNAR!!!!!

Now with Duminy in same over

[mariner4life]

chew for twenty chew!!

And Wagner got a wicket with a ball pitched in the batsman's half, well I never...

wait, it's 3! jesus h christ.

[Virgil]

Clearly should have picked Southee and dropped a Wagner..

I know, he may even get a wicket too.

Having not seen the pitch, I doubt I would have gone for the two spinners in Dunedin. It was an interesting selection but one that seems to be paying off to this point.

[Cyclops]

Cricinfo have Ross Taylor standing at second slip for the Duminy dismissal, is that an error? If not whose our new first slip and why?

[Hooroo]

@hydro11 Who would have thunk that they may know better?

Just flicked on. The pitch is very motley in colour, Jeets seems to be harnessing significant assistance from it

[Chris B.]

@Cyclops I think Rossco is at first slip.

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo apparently Patel had a 7 wicket haul on the ground very recently, so that may have been a factor....

[MajorRage]

Is it too early to start talking about Michelle?
