also, what i dont understand, how can we regularly get 250 v- 300+ in odi's yet struggle to even get 200 in a test... has to be a mental thing at the moment

Whens our next test series? Bangladesh/India late this year?
Think we have Pakistan next.

Well we just toured Sri Lanka and Bangladesh so it should be India.
In another example of the ICC's breath-taking scheduling powers, we'll be touring Bangladesh again this year. Not quite as incredible as when we had Sri Lanka tour 3 years running, or the 10 year gap in between tours to the west indies, but a fine effort nonetheless.

WI havent beaten NZ in a test match since 1995/96.... Only Bangladesh and Zimbabwe can match that record
The last test series was a draw and as others have said WI would have to be the favorites if the sides played eachother today.

Could we rename this thread to "Can NZ ever recover to be good enough to beat the West Indies in a test series"?

Cheers mods.

Yeah, according to the FTP New Zealand have Bangladesh away (2 tests, 3 ODIs) in October immediately followed by a month long tour of India (3 tests, 5 ODIs). Pak will be returning in early 2011 but because of the WC that will be New Zealand's only home test series for the year.

Why?

West Indies have a joke attack right now.
I've been warned about talking about WI recently but as you're a mod asking me a question hopefully i'm safe!! :laugh: ,

Our attack could very well be Roach, Taylor, Bravo, Benn and one of the other fine young bowlers we've got coming through such as Jason Holder, for me that's a very decent attack indeed, lets remember half of those players bowled Australia out for around 160 recently in the tests.

Fell into the trap, banned. :p

Seriously, I've got a bit to say in response to this, however it will drag this thread waaaaaaaaaay off topic so I will start a new thread with what I have to say.
