My Predictions:

New Zealand will win the ODI's

and a draw in the tests.

 

[imported_Rollo]

New Zealand for tests and England for ODIs.

 

[andrew_nixon]

A draw for New Zealand in their latest tour game

Result

Worcestershire 1st Innings: 270/9 declared
New Zealand 1st Innings: 379/7 declared (Oram 103 not out)
Worcestershire 2nd Innings: 318/6 declared (Hick 204 not out)
New Zealand 2nd Innings: 77/1

Match drawn

Good innings by Hick, shows he still has the class of an international player.

At a run a ball too. Just shows what might have been if he'd clicked at Test level.

he is a very talented player but unfortunately never played well at the top level

Kent beat New Zealand in their latest tour game.

New Zealand 1st Innings: 409 all out (Papps 126, Patel 5/56)
Kent 1st Innings: 432/9 declared (Key 114, Jones 101)
New Zealand 2nd Innings: 211 all out

There's still a case for him returning to strengthen the ODI middle order. Unlikely but possible.
