@Damo said in Black Caps v England:
I think it's probably fair to say that Henry is more of a bowling all rounder. Still be good to see him score some runs.
If we don't make the follow on do we think England will put us back in?
Blundell gone.
Is Wagner an all rounder too ? I hope so

He hasn't been bowling well lately. Perhaps he has been focussing his efforts on his batting.

I assume they enforced the follow on due to the forecast. It's left the door ajar for us to set them a tricky total.

@No-Quarter This would be a good innings for both Kane and Henry both to pay us what we're owed in terms of runs!!!

Nice opening stand but Young did himself no favours again. Hardly beating down the door as an alternative for Nichols

Yeah - we didn't need to give up a cheap wicket.
Need to bat all day tomorrow and probably 90 minutes on Tuesday. Book in for bed and breakfast boys!!!!
I reckon England will chase whatever we set and our best chance is to set something steep and have them chase hard longer than they should.

I dunno, chasing in tests is tough, it's not like ODIs where there are restrictions on bowlers and fielders. I think if we set them 200 plus they'll be a bit nervous. Early wickets like we got in the first innings and it could get very interesting. I think they were wrong to enforce the follow on, I'd only do that with a 300+ lead, even then it's better to just completely bat the other side out of the game. They could have easily done that.

So what target should we set?
Question remains
Your boys need to bat and bat yet. I’d be surprised if it comes to a declaration, though Southee can be an aggressive captain. However, I think we’ll be chasing around 200, with a reasonable amount of time.

Test cricket being the funny beast it is I’m almost loathe to make any predictions…….
Here’s a glass half full one.
We have KW still in, class player, our best ever.
Nicholls surely due some sort of score.
Mitchell and Blundell have both scored big against England.
Bracewell is capable ( although I’d never pick him in my team )
Plus a bit of chaotic support from the bowlers.
I hope the boys slept well and are all focussed on redemption after the first test ( and the previous three in England )

The answer remains the same

The Black Craps are back. I am predicting a batting collapse this morning setting up a comfortable Engand win.
On the bright side, I am useless at predicting sporting outcomes.
