If the opportunity presents to go to the casino with Henry Nicholls at the moment, snare it

If the opportunity presents to go to the casino with Henry Nicholls at the moment, snare it

5 January 2021

The Cantabrian could stare down the roulette wheel, choose red or black, and beat the house.

His run of form and fortune this test summer has continued at Christchurch through a dismissal off a no-ball and dropped catches, much as it did in his Wellington 174 and Mt Maunganui 56.

Nicholls contributed 89 not out as part of an unbeaten 215-run stand with captain Kane Williamson on the second day that brought New Zealand back into the second test against Pakistan from 71 for three.

They're 286 for three, a deficit of 11 runs.

Batting coach Luke Ronchi says Nicholls' ability to compartmentalise is key.

The last time a fourth-wicket partnership began earlier for the Black Caps was on 46 during 2019's ill-fated return to Melbourne.
