@MN5 said in New Zealand v West Indies:
I know the BCs are excellent at home but bloody hell....
We have decades of "conditioning" and "expectation management".
This is better than the opposite (which is happening with the ABs).
It is hard to adjust.

Veteran batsman Ross Taylor’s Twenty20 international cricket career is in limbo after he was dropped from the Black Caps squad to face Pakistan. Taylor’s absence was a major talking point of the 18-man squad named for three matches starting next Friday in Auckland, along with star fast bowler Lockie Ferguson who is awaiting further medical advice after suffering a bone stress injury in his back in a potential major blow for the side. Fellow pace bowler Hamish Bennett was also ruled out of the series after suffering an abdominal muscle tear.Good news about the omission of Bennett but is this the end of Taylor's T20 career?
Black Caps Twenty20 squad to face Pakistan:
Game one: Mitchell Santner (captain), Martin Guptill, Tim Seifert, Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Jimmy Neesham, Doug Bracewell, Todd Astle, Ish Sodhi, Scott Kuggeleijn, Jacob Duffy, Blair Tickner.
Games two and three: Kane Williamson (captain), Guptill, Seifert, Conway, Phillips, Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, Kyle Jamieson, Astle, Sodhi, Kuggeleijn, Tim Southee, Trent Boult.
Schedule:
Friday: 1st T20 at Eden Park, Auckland, 7pm
December 20: 2nd T20 at Seddon Park, Hamilton, 7pm
December 22: 3rd T20 at McLean Park, Napier, 7pm

KJ nails it. Bowled.
outstanding effort. Our thrid and fourth seamers are something to behold
Pffft Wags hasn’t got a single wicket. Drop him now.
What have you done for me lately?

Wags now thinks he’s a batting all-rounder...

What about Ferguson? Is he just going to have to wait for an injury/retirement now?
I heard on the radio the commentators talking about ‘all rounder’ Doug Bracewell potentially getting back in the team.
Faaaaaark off, that ship sailed years ago. Go and have another drink with Jessie.

@Damo said in New Zealand v West Indies:
So I guess its obligatory to debate whether we should enforce follow on if we can.
Weather in Wellington is good over next 3 days.
I think we should enforce. We have 4 quicks + Mitchell to share the load.
Indeed. Without getting ahead of ourselves a couple of innings hidings in a row would speak volumes about where we are as a team
Let’s be honest, they aren’t gonna avoid the follow on ( cue a Windies tail ender getting more runs in one innings than his whole career ) so anyone reckon Latham might be on the blower to KW to talk tactics ?

@Gunner said in New Zealand v West Indies:
Enforce the follow on without a doubt.
The bowlers have only rolled the arm over a few times each, they won’t be tired.
Both guys at the crease are debutants and they basically have a marginally less shit Chris Martin to follow. They need to get them back in nice and quick and rub it in.
Not to mention Wags is in danger of getting no wickets this innings. This means angry Wags and angry Wags is good for NZ
