Is Williamson the best? Is he really clearly better than Martin Crowe or Glen Turner for instance? His record is all over the place. You look at his summary, averaging 54 you think no contest. But in fully 40 tests against Australia, England and India he averages a shade under 37. His away test average is 41.

Crowe's contemporaries thought very highly of him IIRC.

Crowe's contemporaries thought very highly of him IIRC.

I'm old enough to remember him playing just and my recollection was for a while there in the mid to late 80s he was considered to be 2nd only to Viv ahead of the likes of Border and Miandad (with Sunny being past his best by that point).

Talking Kiwi cricket. The White Ferns just won the T20 World Cup. Came into it on a losing streak of 10 and won the thing! What an effort - led by Scorchers captain Sophie Devine, they easily ripped through South Africa and won it for the first time. Go Kiwis!

I didnt see Martin Crowe bat he was before my time. But a lot reckon he would be number 2 currently.

But Kane has scored 32 test match 100s and Test 100s in every country bar South Africa where Kane has only played 4 tests.

When the nearest to Kiwi to him is Ross Taylor with 19 test 100s.

Kane also scored 13 ODI hundreds and averages 48 batting at 3 which you have consider as well.

I think Kane has done enough and earnt the right to be considered NZ's best ever batsman.

His numbers stack up everywhere when comparing him Crowe.

Being a Niners fan this year has been nothing but pain, choke after choke, injury after injury.

Try being a Miami Dolphins fan.

Another wasted season and a franchise that needs to be blown up and started again.
