NZ vs Pak, 1st Test: Wagner Hailed As 'Inspiration' For Defying Broken Toes

By AFP News December 30, 2020 • 14:50 PM View: 2542

Fast bowler Neil Wagner was hailed as an "inspiration" on Wednesday 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 Wagner's right foot during New Zealand's first innings but, surviving on painkilling injections and grit, he bowled 21 overs in Pakistan's first innings and 28 in the second for a match haul of four wickets.
