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
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

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

Does Wags have a gear that is less than 100%? that effort to field the straight drive was lovely. Fuck, Pant is really chancing his arm.
Pant must edge on of these. Farken tinny bastard

They certainly give Pant free reign without criticism no matter how he plays. Being aggressive is one thing, charging and slogging every ball is quite another. Rahane was right to tell him to pull his head in.

Latham has been amazing in the field.
