Ewen Chatfield used to do the same (bowled 65 overs in a test once) except that he also opened the bowling.
......this happened on numerous occasions and people are actually questioning the Wags greatness ?
The fuck ?????

Somehow survive R J Hadlee and Trent Boult's opening spell, and then Wagner turns up to try and remove your head from your shoulders until Hadlee returns.
That’s if Boult is playing ahead of Bond. Longevity vs brilliance

Bond might be second change to bowl at Gilchrist.

Was thinking about this the other day actually.
He’s currently the 2nd best test bowler in the world, 2nd! It’s few and far between that we get our guys ranked that high. Anyone who says he shouldn’t be considered as one of our best ever has rocks in their head.
IMO it doesn’t matter if he got there by bowling pretty outswinging deliveries that hit the top of off or if he’s got there by bowling balls aimed at the Adam’s apple, results are results.
And Timmy up to 4 in the rankings.... I’m not reading much from his haters at the moment.

Bond is back coaching our bowlers again isn't he?

No, Shane Jurgensen is still the bowling coach. Bond was only involved with some of the IPL players while they were in MIQ. BMac was too.

you play all 3 in my side. I don't need Wags, i've got Dan to tie up an end. Be nice to see him bowl when all he has to do is attack.

unapologetically style is everything to me. CdGH opening the bowling in whites for NZ makes my skin crawl.

@mariner4life I'll see your big man and raise a current Black Caps selector. That really was embarrassing

We talk about left arm right arm bats being hard to bowl against but imagine a unit of Boult and Hadlee together! You would earn every run!

Who? Larsen?
Can't say I recall him opening, but there was a period we were so bad I stopped watching. I think Glenn Turner's 1996 team had both Larsen and Vaughan in the same test X1. -

@dogmeat said in New Zealand v West Indies:
@Rapido Big Gav the renowned tearaway opening quick opened in the Windies in the mid 90's. It might have been the tour Turner coached with the walk outs etc. We did have a number out injured IIRC but definitely Larsen opened our "attack"
Yes, I looked it up.
Although, interestingly did have the tall, fastish Robert Kennedy bowling 3rd or 4th seamer. But he was raw and obviously management didn't think he was currently up to it.Coincidentally, I have just recently read Turner's book on those 2 year's as coach.
Cairns' had had a tantrum/ self-diagnosed injury and ruled himself out, Nash was sulking and blaming others and maybe injured, he also didn't rate Morrison by this stage, but he was playing.

that, more than anything, has tainted my opinion of him forever. i know @MN5 would turn for him, but i can't even include him in any "best of" sides now because in my eyes he has become a tainted quitter.
