Black Caps bowler Neil Wagner has been snapped flipping the bird at someone at Seddon Park – just who the intended recipient is remains unclear.
After taking a catch to dismiss Proteas batter Raynard van Tonder off the bowling of Will O’Rourke, Wagner is seen to be directing the hand gesture toward someone as the Black Caps huddle.
Wagner and captain Tim Southee had been seen in discussion prior to the wicket – whether the gesture and said discussion are linked is unknown.
Another possibility is that Wagner was directing it toward the departing batter van Tonder, but there had been no prior evidence to suggest any bad blood between the two.
