The forecast for Hamilton over the next 5-6 days is near identical to the 1st test but with weather forecasting we all know it can be a day to day thing.
Hamilton is expecting the first 4 days of test starting tomorrow 15/03/12 fine with the odd cloud developing with a slight threat of a shower or two but mostly fine and 22-deg.
But Monday the 5th day of this 2nd test looks likely to be washed out or at best very little time out in the middle unless you are a green keeper on duty or a seagull......
The prayer books will be out in force all over England hoping New-Zealand can force this test into the 5th day and the heavens opening up and the likely chance of yet another drawn test.
Shame really when it gets down to others losing for their own benefit of prolonging their position of Numero-uno test ranking...
New-Zealand did show some promising aspects to their game in the 1st test and hopefully they can improve on that and make this series a hard fought affair.

Maski.......(You really do rate this South African cricket team that much? If they are the best team in the world then cricket is in a sad state of affairs. You and India know who is better. You both just got walloped by that team)
To be honest I don't really rate this Sth.African team as much, albeit on paper the same as India they do look strong but are not putting bat to ball.
As for N-Z having to lose 3-0 or 1-0 for Sth.Africa to become No.1 is a joke....if they are No.2 then it should wait until July/Aug when they tour England to decide who is ranked No1 and not a defeat down under without England taking part....I don't mind the system it just needs some tinkering with I feel.
