Mitchell Santner -Test career averages predictions

[Fuller Pilch]

Good on you sticking your neck out there.

Living on the edge

 

[Compton]

35 with both.

 

[James]

I think he'll end up averaging similar to Dipak Patel, so I'll go 21 with the bat and 42 with the ball.

 

[Zinzan]

Hopefully won't last long if it's going in that direction quickly.

 

[TT Boy]

Sub 30 with the bat, sub 40 with the ball. S/R upwards of 80 per wicket.

 

[NZTailender]

In some ways I kinda wish he'd give up bowling and knuckle down and go the Steve Smith route. He could end up batting middle order and averaging 40 - he just needs to believe & put the work in. Bowling wise, he needs to work some things out with his action (front arm) if he wants to become anything more than a containment bowler.

At best, if he does stay as an AR, he'd go 35/35, but I have a feeling it'll be more 27/44.

 

[Prince EWS]

About what he's averaging now IMO - high 20s to low 30s with the bat, mid to high 30s with the ball.

 

[morgieb]

I'll say 29 with the bat, 35 with the ball.

 

[Bijed]

In some ways I kinda wish he'd give up bowling

Apparently Kane Williamson feels the same way

 

[straw man]

38 with bat and 36 with ball. WAG.

 

[Gnske]

23 with the bat, 38 with ball.

 

[Daemon]

40 with the bat and 6 with the ball

 

[Blain]

He makes batting look pretty easy at times, signs of a guy with good potential. Also unflappable which is handy! Can see him being more of a middle order (No 5 or 6) player who's your 5th choice bowler.

So 34 with the bat, and 38 with the ball.

He's still so fresh with in all cricket, hard to call.

Who's going to be the best all rounder for NZ; Neesham, Anderson or Santner?

If they all stay fit, Anderson. But given how injury prone Neesh and CJ have been to this point in their careers, I'd probably say Santner

Ask me when they're 29

[Daemon]

Santner imo because NZ have no spinners and so he's almost guaranteed a spot unless they get one.

Playing a defensive spinner that can hold up the runs on one end as we attack from the other in NZ is also best for business. In Asia we'd probably play two spinners. Santner looking pretty set on being in the side for a long while to come.

Yep. At full fitness, Anderson's bowling fills me with the most confidence. But that's becoming an increasingly rare sight.

 

[Days of Grace]

I'd hope for anything over 30 with the bat at no.8 and anything under 35 as a NZ spinner.

I think 28/37.

How many wickets per match would people be happy with? Anything over 2.5 would be nice.

I really don't think he's that talented with the bat. He's no mug, but not talented enough to be a 40+ average batter. Also, having the two strings to his bow should give him more confidence with the bat and less fear of failing.
