NZ v Australia Test #2
-
<p>Hopefully Wagner gets a 5th wicket. He's definitely bent his back trying the short ball at the tail.</p>

If you take the day night test out, with the different conditions and new ball, we have played 4 other tests against them, and they have batted 6 times.<br><br>
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>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>

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.

<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>
