lets face it if Neil Wagner had held that cought and bowled chance the game would have been over with a day, or more to spare.

Fellas!!..it does seem to be at the back of the kiwis minds where are spinners are concerned...Mccullum was even talking about it the other day and trying some "reverse psychology"..claiming "he would be happy for us to play two spinners"..the truth is though Shilly left the NZ top order with a bloody nose towards the end of that first test. Throw in Narine to back him up..who let us remember terrorised the Nz the last time he faced them, then things could get very interesting..the key for us using them two will be what happens later on in the piece..if NZ are chasing anything above 200 on a 5th day pitch against those guys then boy there will be fireworks

why were we requesting filthy roads?
That's pretty obvious, the last 2 seasons we hosted the 2 best teams in the world with better strength in our own area if strength.
NZC were happy 0-0 or 0-1 (and so was I tbh, despite frustrations last season of England's second inningses at Dunedin and Auckland).

Between the last time NZ faced WI they traveled to India and faced Ojha and Ashwin, went to Sri Lanka and faced the world's best spin bowler (Rangana Herath), and faced a barrage of Bangladeshi spinners in their home conditions - including Sohak Gazi who is a very similar bowler to Shillingford.Fellas!!..it does seem to be at the back of the kiwis minds where are spinners are concerned...Mccullum was even talking about it the other day and trying some "reverse psychology"..claiming "he would be happy for us to play two spinners"..the truth is though Shilly left the NZ top order with a bloody nose towards the end of that first test.

Shillingford is still more threatening than the pace bowlers but I wouldn't get too over-hyped about his 4 wickets on day 5. They were all gifted to him.

had to give them that toss would've just been unfair otherwise

Was gabrielle's seam position better against zim and he's just out of sorts atm? Someone was saying he bowled decent outswingers.
