It's weird that Wagner is also known for his ability to get the old ball to reverse - so he's completely reliant on the rest of his team's bowlers to get one side shiny and one rough then?

There's still something there in the pitch that can be exploited when the ball is just a touch fuller, as Broad was to pass the edge vs McCullum once that over and Anderson did earlier to get Williamson's wicket.
Unfortunately I can see our bowlers bowling just a little short like the English bowlers.

funny listening to the commentator
"That one deviated less than the one that got KW yet it managed to go past the outside edge wtf I don't understand help me Ian Smith"
because it was shorter you nitwit...

Good point, but so far in international cricket he has really only produced one spell of reverse swing (the one in Wellington) and he only started getting reverse past the 70th over (although it was significant), while Anderson was starting to get some by the 30th over in the other innings. There are just so many factors in reverse swing though, its hard to know for sure the reasons for each particular case

Is it just me, or are there significantly more errors with the Cricinfo commentary this series?

Mmm yeah it was quite a lot shorter from Broad on second viewing.

Cricinfo commentary seems rather uninspired by this series tbh.
Well played Brownlie - almost got done there but adjusted well

McCullum was treating the part-timer with disdain and he got what he deserved.

Might have been worth sending Southee in ahead of Watling for a bit of a swing. If he gets a 30 (15) even it's still injects some impulsion into the innings and removes the pressure from Brownlie to up the ante for a few more minutes.
I also think we should declare at 400 - 450 all going well, and if we bowl them out have a quick bat to rest the bowlers. Bowling for three days doesn't appeal.

Fair-play Trott, deserved it. England would have settled for McCullum getting just 38 at the start of the day given the form he's been in.
NZ should still get another 80-100 if they play their natural game without being wreckless, but chances of 500+ are now slim.
