    We love Wags πŸ’˜

    Gosh he’s good. He might take Boults spot in my all time XI if he’s not careful.

    get off the cans

    Worth considering if he keeps going. Go to have someone that can take wickets on a dead pitch with an older ball and our spinners are shit. Not sure that Trent would miss out though...

    there's the rub. He's more likely to take Dan's spot than Boult's

    even then...

    Wags is an honest trier who gets wickets with persistence. Love him, he's a fucking hero. But one of our best ever?

    yes. but it's a damning statement when the dude bowling 130km bouncers at guys for 15 overs straight is in our all time best attack.

    That's what I love about him. Put him in bad conditions and he will make something happen using pure will

    Wagner may not be the 3rd best NZ seamer of all time, but he is by daylight the best NZ 3rd seamer all time.

    Maybe the best ever 3rd seamer.

    He is quite unique, as usually you get promoted eventually and start taking new ball (like Garner, the next best. Or assume Cummins will eventually do more). Instead Wagner got rewarded by being given an even older ball and demoted below even CdG's wobblers since 2016.

    Stats even more impressive if you strip it down to 4th seamers:

    He never complains, is fueled by his perpetual font of rage directed at the batsmen. His performances on the sub continent, putting in long shifts in the heat, are Herculean

    Living in Australia has obviously made you forget your homeland and the complete and utter dearth of genuinely world class fast bowlers ( or cricketers full stop )

    Ewen Chatfield used to do the same (bowled 65 overs in a test once) except that he also opened the bowling.
