They really bullied our precious Neil Wagner into retirement just to give his well earned spot to a rapist?!
Yeah, not watching this Test at all. If I were Wagner I would drag the board ass.

Who knows what dirt SK has on NZ cricket for this insanity to even occur.

APPALLING!

I will not be interacting with this test due to the inclusion of that disgusting little freak I hope we get the shit beaten out of us

Yep it’s totally wrong but they picked him before so I knew they would pick him again sadly but it’s piss poor having a rapist in the team it’s a bad look n they don’t care it appears

I really want to enjoy this test match. I think it's the last test series Australia plays until the end of the year.
But it's quite hard to while Scott Kuggeleign is in New Zealand's side. This vile man has no place in international or professional cricket.#NZvAUS

Surely NZ Cricket could have asked Neil Wagner to stick around for two more Tests instead of having to pick Kuggeleijn?#NZvAUS

NZ cricket playing a guy that doesn’t know about consent and admitted raping a girl while a legend of the game has to retire because they won’t pick him. Wtaf?

Oh Marnus, that’s embarrassing. Not only the innings but to get out to that guy. #NZvAUS

Dont want to hear anything about Aussies moral behaviour with that guy in the nz side either….

New Zealand retired Neil Wagner to pick Scott Kuggeleijn? On a cricketing level, bananas. On a societal and human level, astronomically bizarre and grim. Do better. #NZvAUS

One of these might be a good choice. One definitely isn't.

It is as if they are almost making an effort with Kuggeleijn, maybe it's me reading into it too much but it almost feels as if it's "we know what's being said so we're gonna say everything but that"

I’m sick of even seeing Scott Kuggeleijn on a cricket pitch, literal rapist and has possibly the ugliest run up and bowling action I’ve ever seen

— Alasdair 🇳🇦🇳🇿 (@Alasdair333) February 28, 2024

Scott Kuggeleijn we know what you are, I hope you never take a test wicket

— Haz ⚡️ (@hazza_skywalker) February 28, 2024

They really retired Wagner so that they could play that criminal Kuggeleijn, shameless management

— wannabe Gaslighter (@mindsid99) February 28, 2024

I do not like Australia
But I do not want Scott Kuggeleijn to have any happiness

Tough one to call this test #NZvAus
