2nd Test, Wellington - ketchim - 12-10-2020

West Indies tour of New Zealand .
A 2-0 sweep over West Indies will put New Zealand on top of the ICC rankings.
But that really doesn't matter as much as reaching a similar position on the World Test Championship points table.
This team wants to be at Lord's in 2021.
They've already said it will be "great" if that happens, which is Kiwi code
for we want it real bad and we're going to do all we can to get it.

West Indies have the worst performing Top 4 in Test cricket !
2nd Test, Wellington - ketchim - 12-10-2020
Pitch and Conditions
It's going to be green
New Zealand believe that's when they play their best cricket although the preference may have more
to do with how virtually every opposition that arrives on these shores finds it so hard to score big runs here.
In the last five years, away teams, batting first, have been bundled out for 200 or less 13 times.
New Zealand have only ever given up the advantage like that three times
Rain isn't likely to play much of a role on any of the five days of this Test match.

what will holder do
2nd Test, Wellington - ketchim - 12-10-2020
He can help with the replacement of Roach and wktkeeper Dowrich
Think DaSilva will be Capped in front of Pooran
Dunno IF Shepherd will replace Roach ~
Whatever impressions the West Indies fast bowlers made in Hamilton
they have been this team's biggest strength in recent times.
An average of 24, a strike-rate of 49 and 12 five-fors in three years
puts them in the top half of the Test teams
and they'll be backing themselves to rediscover that form in Wellington.

"If 10 years ago, somebody told me I'd play 50 Test matches for West Indies
I'd wanna know what they were smoking."
Shannon Gabriel plays the underrating yourself game !
