Yes, Milne’s spell was very demanding. Speed gun mainly had him around 143-145kph but the ball was fair zipping off the surface and absolutely rocketing into the keeper’s gloves. He was a class above any other bowler I saw (admittedly only saw the second innings) although Ben Wheeler also bowled well and looks quite promising.
Canterbury won handily enough, although one did have to wonder whether things might have turned out had the umpire not missed Andy Ellis leg glancing off the middle of the bat straight into the keeper’s gloves before he’d scored. The sort of decision that makes me think they should be using DRS so the really obvious stuff can be corrected – don’t need expensive snicko, hotspot or ball tracking for a decision such as that one.
