Kane is a massive home bully

Stokes is better than his stats but Kane is averaging nearly 55 in a tough era so it has to be him

Kane vs Kapil/Botham would be better

Kane the better bat.

One has averaged 65 over the last 10 years, while the other has worse stats than CDG.

His poor away record is also such a myth. A few crap series when he was 22-23.
In the last 10 years his away record is as good as the very best

He’s pretty close to surpassing guys like Ponting and Sanga IMO. Just needs another 30 tests of good formHis poor away record is also such a myth. A few crap series when he was 22-23.

So another 5 or 6 years at NZ's rate of playing tests?
The answer to this is clearly Kane.....its not even really a discussion. But it's a dumb comparison tbh. Such different players with such different roles.

@Pothas did a thread that conclusively proved he’s an away failure sadlyHis poor away record is also such a myth. A few crap series when he was 22-23.

Proper roads in Australia when he played here too, good attack notwithstanding.
I love Kane but if you're an analyis by checklist kinda person then it's fair enough to mark him down a bit for 'holes'.

Did fine on the tour to SA during his peak I think. Only 3 innings and ran out of partners in one. It’s just India and England where he’s really struggled.

Of all the times he's toured India, England, Australia and South Africa, he's had one great tour (2015 in Australia) and virtually nothing else. Dismissing it as a myth is weak.
His most meaningful away runs were probably in that UAE tour they won. He needs to do more of that.

Additionally in SL he has a hundred but his second best score out of seven innings' is 20

Yeah he did well on the tour against Herath and then failed against a weaker attack later
