Is it too early to have a crack at a likely test team for the series ? I might have a go.......
Latham
Conway
KW
Ravindra
Mitchell
Blundell
Santner
Smith
Jamieson
Henry
O'RourkeConway has gotten runs albeit in the other formats when his career looked in danger of being over and Young still hasn't fired quite like he should have by now. I don't think there's room for both of them.
KW/Ravindra/Mitchell pick themselves despite Henry Nicholls getting 150 not out in his last test.
Blundell doesn't seem to have much of a challenger as keeper.
Santner has made every post a winner which I wouldn't have said in the past. Phillips coming back from injury.
Smith there as batting insurance and 4th seamer. Its tough to leave out Foulkes given how he went in his one and only test, but then again like Nicholls that was "only" against Zimbabwe.
If that pace trio can stay fit they will cause the Windies no end of trouble in home conditions.
Windies have been more than competitive and enjoyable to watch in the shorter formats but anything less than a 3-0 hammering shouldn't be an option in the test series.
Have struggled to keep up but what state is Sears in?

Meniscus Tear in his left knee, I hear early January before he can put a load on the knee.

My team, injury replacements in brackets;
Latham
Conway
KW
Ravindra
Mitchell (Young)
Blundell
Phillips
Santner
Jamieson
Henry
O’Rourke (Foulkes)Is there room for both of Phillips and Santner ?
plus is Phillips actually available ? Massive fan of his but Santner has improved at test level and then some. could be a tough decision.

Phillips is fit and playing first class cricket.

@MN5 I say yes.
If we’re looking for a 6th specialist batter, he’s our man. Added bonus he’s got a bit of a golden arm as well.
He'd be my favourite BC. Good at everything and his attitude is outstanding. Love watching him play.
Again, depends if they go with him or Santner. I'd be surprised if both of them got in.

Could be chasing 400 at this rate

@MN5 said in West Indies tour of NZ:
Ian Bishop just said Napier was hot, isn't he from the West Indies ?
He's bloody good value to listen to actually, passionate about his team but very professional and unbiased. I'm loving Wags as a comments man too.
Ha. Wondered what the weather was for the cricket. Googled "Hamilton weather". Told me it was 26C at 80% humidity. Thought "fuck, that's uncomfy, more tropical than here...".
Was Hamilton Island...
