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.
