After this particular test, Rigor was averaging 54, Chinny 45, Macca and Skippy 43, and Flem 37. Matt Horne in the low 30s.

I still think Paddles edges KW as our greatest individual player but, rose tinted glasses or not it has to be pointed out some of his teammates were ordinary. Not a patch on many of today's guys.

@MN5 I don't think Kane should be compared to Sir Paddles until he finishes his career.
If he plays to the same age then he's not even halfway through.

Even then should he be compared to a bowler? If Kane keeps going on the same trajectory he is going at the moment, I will happily call them equal best. Paddles strike rather was extraordinary.

I suppose Paddles had the advantage of being a handy batsman but even KW is a more than useful bowler when he turns the arm over.

@MN5 @Hooroo Different jobs - different eras.
Kane will probably play more than twice the number of test Sir Paddles did - but, a lot less first class cricket.
Received wisdom seems that Kane has already gone past Marty Crowe - but, Marty scored 71 first class centuries - where Kane has just 29 - and that has to be factored into the career equation where the old guys played a lot of non-international first class cricket compared to the guys today.

Sir Paddles has more than 100 first class five-wicket bags.

And Glen Turner did the batting equivalent with centuries......but I think that's only part of the equation when you consider ordinary test batsmen like Graeme Hick, Mark Ramprakash and Mike Gatting did exactly the same.

Munro out to a dubious caught decision. Looked to me like the ball hit the ground...
Anywho 23/1 in the 5th over.

I'm happy with those calls. They always look dodgy, but there is almost always a finger under the ball. As long as they get called consistently I'm happy-and in fair they are now pretty clear about it

Only closely aligned to this topic but it needs to go somewhere. Oh how I miss the days of the old Sports Roundup and the Wonderful Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer and the many many enjoyable hours listening to the likes of Peter Sharp and the Scotsman Jim something (forget his last name) from Lancaster Park, Trevor Rigby, Colin Sneddon, Iain Galloway, and there are others whose names I forget at the moment keeping us entertained and up to date on the goings on during all first class domestic cricket in NZ.
Lawn Bowls also had Stu Scott with his informative and entertaining descriptions of bowls matches keeping us up to date with goings on when the NZ Champs started on Boxing Day and went on for about a fortnight when upwards of a couple of thousand guys entered the NZ singles champs about twenty years ago. Hell we were so lucky in the days before Radio Stations were not run by the corporates all competing for the gold medal in the who can air the most advertisements in an hour contest!
