Nah it is good bowling, going for the wicket taking line down leg side.

This seriously does look our best hope of getting a wicket

 

[hendrix]

no seriously **** off Wagner

 

[hendrix]

and there goes any swing that there was.

Thanks Neil.

Look on the bright side, that would be a great line to a left hander.

Although you've been complaining way more than is reasonable about Southee and Boult's bowling imo, yes this is complete trash from Wagner. 0/10 bowling, only saved from going for masses of runs by the fact that his bad balls are just so wide.

Hope Cook is fined for a slow over rate

So so close.

I don't think it's unreasonable to criticise Southee and Boult for the way they've done so far. Southee, by and large has bowled way to wide of the off stump, and Boult has been all over the place. They've asked very few questions of the English batsmen.

 

[straw man]

Partly true, though it's always possible to find something to criticise.

Imo so far for our bowling:
Boult - 6/10
Southee - 4/10
Wagner - 0/10

I didn't complain about Southee and Boult's bowling.

I'm happy for them to go searching a bit.

NZ's seamers have bowled as badly as England's on day one. Is bowling a consistent line and length a lost art?

not really IMO.

They've been all over the place but at least they've given themselves a chance by pitching it up.

Hrmm, maybe it was someone else I was thinking of

 

[Mike5181]

Boulty!

 

[Flem274*]

yessss

 

[straw man]

Boutl!!!

Might be successful with the challenge tbh

Edit: Nah looks good actually

 

[straw man]

Great reward for continuing to attack, pitch up, look for swing etc.

 

[Mike5181]

One more before the close of play, please.
