#4 Neil Wagner has difficulty running in a straight line
Ever watched the 1980s fast bowlers take their run-ups? They start from wide mid-off and run in towards the umpire diagonally. Well, Neil Wagner seems to be have been pretty inspired by that. But he seems to have gathered it all too wrong. He goes diagonally opposite!
Starting from right behind the umpire, Wagner goes all the way to the end of the pitch as his foot almost touches the return crease (Dhoni fans would say it did touch the wretched return crease in that fateful Test match).
A school boy mistake from the Kiwi fast bowler. He watched the greats of the 80s run diagonally but never noted in which direction. How dumb is that? Why else would this poster boy from New Zealand trouble umpires with yet another crease?
As it is, on-field officials have trouble spotting the normal no-ball and Wagner presents them with an altogether different crease to watch out for! Billy Bowden would surely have some funny gesture for that one.
