New Zealand v West Indies

also thank fuck for Kane. The Windies might not be looking forward to batting on this. It's taken one of the worlds top bats, and a dude who many are calling one of the best openers currently around to get runs, everyone else battling.

Windies don't have dudes of that callibre

I haven't been following Darren Bravo lately (and I see he's picked up a niggle) but a few years ago he was certainly around the Latham level. Holder is also a much better bat than most give him credit for. No one of Kane's class though. I think the difference might also be the ability of Blundell and Nicholls to hang around even if they're not scoring. Bravo might be good enough, but can others bat with him? The pitch might flatten out too.

200 for Kane!

[nzzp]

Kane is some player. Wow. Just wow.

Such great timing, hits some fours, then just eases a six, and gets a life off a no ball.

starting to hit now, pushing the run rate up. Guess you can do that when you're on 220 odd...

[mariner4life]

poor fluffybunnies

Kane gets 200, decides it's T20 time, whacks their best bowler for 14 off 3 balls.

bowler nicks him out. And over-steps.

this stat as put on cricinfo

Here's a stat for you - since 2017 Kane Williamson has averaged 60.48 in test cricket, an impressive stat by itself, however his weakness has been susceptibility early. If he gets past just 5 runs his average leaps up to massive 93.90!"

huge if true

A modern day Bradman

Which is apparently no big deal according to the batting averages thread

Bradman is a myth

@KiwiMurph

Waiting for Mr Bain's experience at the cricket. Tales of the 'Bat-man' and' Robbin runs through cover' no doubt!

[nzzp]

Jamison just looks like a Test cricketer. What a meteoric rise, and so far this test match he's looking solid as well. He's on 29, and averaging over 60 at the moment.

Smoked a lovely six that looked effortless. Can defend, too. I likey.

The original Ozzy fluffybunny cricketer. Not even his own team mates liked him.

And too good to leave out.

[Godder]

Williamson finally out for his highest test score of 251.

[ARHS]

Awesome work Kane!!

His test average jumps from 50.99 to 52.55.

[Godder]

Jamieson gets his 50 and Kane declares at 519/7.

[mariner4life]

Indian fans are the Irish rugby fans of cricket.

Some fucking idiot took the time to write in to cricinfo to say we are definitely behind in the game.

fuck up mate and go watch your team of over-hyped losers get their asses handed to them in Australia

[antipodean]

Cracking innings. Well done Kane.

Compared to his team mates it was brilliant.

Seddon Park has developed a knack of preparing green roads...
