Wagner has certainly fronted on this tour.
Steve Smith = Wagner's Bunny
That's remarkable by itself. What a bowler

He's earned rave reviews. The only bright spot

Broken hand for Boult.
Heading home after the test. Still bowling this arvo though.
Hopefully they take the opportunity to fly over Sommerville.

He's a spinner. 38 is not that old to trundle in. Fuck the future, he'll be good for a couple of years easy

Neil Wagner should be one of the first names on the BCs team sheet in as many forms of the game as he wishes. That is all
He reached 200 test wickets today, and is apparently the only bowler with 200+ test wickets to have debuted since the first ODI, not to have taken at least one ODI wicket.

Has he ever played ODI or T20 for NZ?

I think the most disappointing thing is that we've been undone by ourselves. A lack of patience and too many loose shots at key moments. The difference between us has been that the Aussie batsmen happily left anything not threatening alone and took what they could get. Our top 4 all went to soft shots at balls easily left. I think the combination of the occasion, the scoreboard pressure and a high quality bowling attack did that.
Also, although our bowlers performed okay (excellently in the case of Wags) I feel like we never bowled in partnerships so although we had individual bowlers looking threatening from time to time, we never managed to exert consistent pressure at both ends.

I actually think the bowlers did everything they could, ish. Southee and Boult bowled a lot of great deliveries. Wagner has been amazing. The Park Cricketer bowled above his station.
The entire batting card and Santners bowling can get fucked.
