I’m pretty confident in saying I think Ravindra is going to go on and surpass Williamson and be our best batsman.
When Kane was Rachin's age. He already had 7 test centuries, 2300 test runs at an average of 40.
Well ok then
But he will still go on and be pretty decent.
@Darren to counter everyone raining on your parade, Rachin has the ability to be right up there with Kane at the end of his career. It's also taken him longer to crack the team as we actually have a world class side at the moment, so the "same age" comparisons aren't completely fair. Such an exciting talent.

Quiz. If you can name the 3rd best* NZ batsman at the age of 24 years and 78 days.
Not an overly obvious one, but had a fast start to his career.- Best is subjective. A runs and average combination.

Ah yeah, forgot about him. I second this.

Phillips in.
Not withstanding his stats as the greatest all rounder ever ( Batting average 46 and bowling 16 ) he’s very much a batting all rounder. Interesting that Blundell bats ahead of him given he’s certainly not a frontline bowler by any stretch.

Yeah, NZ seem to obsessed with having the keeper bat at 6 which makes sense when your trying to play someone like Santner as your allrounder, but doesn't make sense if you allrounder is someone like M Bracewell of Phillips who would be more batters than bowlers.

The selectors didn’t hold Williamson back like they have Ravindra…
Anywho, well done young fulla. Great knock.

Correct.
(1843 runs at 41.88 with 4 centuries. Arguably you could say it is second best ahead of Crowe, actually) -

When Kane came into the Blackcaps test side, the Blackcaps were crap, so Kane was a breath of fresh air so to speak.
