That’s a given

Also have to admit that is a far better Sri Lankan side than what we have seen here for a while, some shrewd bowling near the end and almost pulled it off themselves, when Southee went out I was getting very nervous lol

Is there any chance of a future "back caps" talent to come in for Wagner for next test or are we stuck with same squad?

Doug Bracewell has been called into the squad.
Despite the lack of love for the name Bracewell on TSF, and the call for some randoms, I think it's the best call at this stage of the season.

I'm okay with Doug. Not so much with the other guy....

@nzzp so it seems. Saw headline to article by Andrew Alderson.
So Wags to hit the winning run as his last ever act in Tests on his 37th birthday...

@Donsteppa the tension in that replay was immense. Fundamentals- Kane slides his bat, we win the test. Bracewell doesn't, he amost cost us that game but for a miracle.
Sport eh, so good!

I changed my mind several times the first time I saw it being played for the Third Umpire. Was willing Kane's bat to somehow beat the ball!

Though in terms of the replacement of Wags, what's not good for the Black Caps turns out to be good for BSG's club, Cadets. Two Saturdays ago:

Would love to see Kane pass the 8,000 Test runs mark in the next Test.
Fyi

Shane Bond
simply magnificent, as a bowler, and then as a bowling coach.
Shafted by NZC on the instruction of ICC for playing in the ICL. Injury and politics robbed us of teh chance to see a true talent. Him cleaning up Australia with the fast swinging yorkers lives strongly in my memory
