SPORTS TALKWith Jacob Page
Where’s my Wagner?The Black Caps have missed a trick
by not playing Neil Wagner during this Sri Lankan year series.
As a fan, it seems baffling that the powers that be could sit Wagner, who is currently ranked as the sixth best test bowler in the world.
The two tests in Sri Lanka have been hampered by rain but Wagner’s
heart and hustle was sorely missed in the first test loss when the pitch offered nothing for the traditional seamer.
Perhaps the team feel obliged to play the under-performing Tim Southee because he is the squad’s vice captain but it would only be a member of the Southee family that
would suggest with a straight face that Tim trumps Neil at this point.
The Black Caps missed Wagner’s variety and short-pitches variation.
His tactics unsettled the Sri Lan-kan’s in our conditions last summer and on a placid pitch, it may have been worth exploiting the mental scars in unfamiliar conditions.
The Black Caps have shown tre-mendous loyalty to Southee who has been a shell of himself since the 2015 World Cup.
The same could be said for Mitchell Santner who was mercilessly dropped for the second test.
Santner has been given every oppor-tunity to succeed in all three formats
and while he seems to be a handy enough 50-over bowler he has not made the same strides in tests and his batting remains inconsistent at best.
There is a limited window left with test specialist Wagner and during a tour where New Zealand has floun-dered in many aspects, his passion and energy has been sorely missed.
