Having flashbacks to Pant at the Gabba
He's very dangerous for both teams haha. Liable to throw his wicket away, but on the flip side a quick 80 odd would give India a chance to have a crack at us in the final session.

okay so Southee and Kylo have bowled 12 overs this morning, and we've still got Wags and Trent to come in. Love having the depth to give our bowlers decent breaks
Wags will give them the bouncy boom boom
Kane needs to poke him with a cattle prod to get him in the mood

Just need Hadlee and Bond and it would be perfect.

Macca wonders why Latham isn't in the slips instead of Tim. I'm wondering too
My immediate thought in response is that Southee goes in because he covers a wider area at second when there are only slippers 1 and 2, and funnily enough he catches at a higher success rate than Latham (just mentioned on comms)

Hindsight is 20/20

Wagner to Pant could get very expensive.
He needs to bounce him out

yeah, the second part of my comment was news to me - it just happened I was typing as they mentioned the stats - I still think Southee at 2nd when 3rd slip is not there is because of his reach compared to Latham

damn this test has been riveting...bringing out the figurative couch when/if NZ start to bat

Good little win for Wagner to get a maiden.

This test has put to rest the pervasive myth that he is a bounce only bowler. He's always had the ability to bowl length and swing, his role and many of the pitches he's played on haven't required him to do so.

The myth is useful though. Rahane got out in part due to Wags' reputation

It's. 100% a draw, so I'm just going to wake up to that
