Black Caps v South Africa
-
Kane Williamson 100% is the greatest batsmen NZ has produced.And to me stands as the No.1 test batsmen at the moment.I don't always agree with rankings but Kane at No.1 is exactly how it should be.
Kane has had to bat on seaming pitches here in NZ when we use to produce them, play in foreign conditions a lot more than other test batsmen as we play more tests away than at home atm. -
Its not like we have flat tracks over here, we are very seam and swing friendly. Plenty of very good bowlers from other teams have come over and wrecked havoc on our batsmen over the years, think CourtneyWalsh for the Windies in the early 90's. Took 13 wickets for fuck all in Wellington.
At their peak Wasim and Waqar fucked us over again and again anytime they visited.you want your flat tracks, go to Australia or India..

@KiwiPie
That would be Graham Gooch for the poms
hes scored 300 odd in one bat and followed it with a 100 in his 2nd.@Virgil well done

@Virgil as much as loath as i am to start ANOTHER 90s black caps bullshit chat
but for like a decade it felt like Pakistan toured every fucking summer, and those two just filled their boots against us.

They did. I went to a bunch of those one dayers and tests at Eden park in the 90s. We were pumped nearly every time. The ODIs were always low scoring games too
Wasim and Waqar, opening batsmen must have shit their pants when they went out to face them -

hes scored 300 odd in one bat and followed it with a 100 in his 2nd.Best on debut is surely Lawrence Rowe.
His first three scores in tests were 214, 100*, 22.
Momentarily he averaged 336 - the highest for a player who has been dismissed at least once*.
*Assuming no-one has surpassed this in recent times - I haven't paid as much attention as I used to.

Not to mention he was allergic to grass which is a bit unfortunate if you’re a test cricketer
