‘He’s mad’: Cricket world in awe of Kiwi ‘inspiration’s’ match-winning bravery – Fox Sports
Fast bowler Neil Wagner was hailed as an “inspiration” after he shrugged off the pain of two broken toes to help bowl New Zealand to victory in the first Test.
A Shaheen Afridi yorker fractured two toes in Wagners right foot during New Zealands first innings but, surviving on painkilling injections and grit, he bowled 21 overs in Pakistans first innings and 28 in the second for a match haul of four wickets.
Wagner crucially removed Fawad Alam for 102 during a marathon 11-over spell late on the fifth day to snuff out Pakistans hopes of a surprise victory. New Zealand eventually won by 101 runs, 27 balls from the close.
