[MN5]

<p>Didn't Mike Hussey also have a Bradmanesque Test average when he started?</p>

<p>He sure did. Scored at least one century in his first six test series. But his career fell to pieces after that and he only finished with a measly average of 51....</p>

<p>Fuck how many of these idiots are going to try and keep it down rather than launch over the rope? Swing hard, pricks!</p>

<p>Disappointing we're going to drop short of 500.</p>

Loving the short stuff from Wagner. He's Earned a more regular position in the team.<br><br>
Crowd is good for a Monday and in good voice considering the state of play

[ACT Crusader]

<p>Hopefully Wagner gets a 5th wicket. He's definitely bent his back trying the short ball at the tail.</p>

<p>Called it ACTC. Well done that man. </p>

Add them up, and they have 2,776 runs for only 39 wickets. That's an average of 71, and those runs were scored at 3.97 runs per over.</p></blockquote>
Wagner with a 5-for - where has he been all summer?

<p>Go the tonk lads, then get changed and ready for a crack at them.</p>

Waggy sixfer

<p>I'll take 505 after that start. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now the hard work begins. NZ will be into a lead by the end of the day, so its time for the GOAT to make his presence felt on a lifeless deck.</p>

<p>Wagner I think bowled to a very simple plan and it did very well. I would have said the short balls was a bad plan but they worked so I guess it was a good plan. If that is all Wagner has then I think he will struggle long term in the team. I think Wagner is a better bowler when there isn't much in the pitch.</p>

[MN5]

<p>Aw hell yeah, love it when that happens.</p>

[No Quarter]

Wagner with 6. That is such a typical Wagner performance. Bowling his fucking heart out for 30 odd overs. He is a brilliant 3rd seamer. I can't give the selectors any shit as I have backed the Bracewell selection, but in hindsight we have really missed his hussle with the old ball.

[MN5]

<p>They'd be staring down the barrel of a much bigger deficit if he hadn't delivered. Great work from the Wag.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Goes without saying at least someone from the top four needs a really big score after some limp efforts, not only that but to get them at a reasonably decent clip too given we're right on half way in the match.</p>
