Kane Williamson

Awkward...... The award was first presented in 2003, again I think you have confused it with something else.

Incorrect, Wisden went back and retrospectively awarded it for each year (unless you for some reason think a retrospective award is worth less?).

Do read the link.

(not exactly sure how it works tbh)

but it didn't stop you from gobbing off I see, well done all round

if you really are interested it is based primarily on performances in the English summer and also counts county cricket

So basically exactly what I assumed?

Can't see what issue you could possibly have with my post, but a bit more decorum & maturity would be appreciated in future

Lol, you kid.

Lol, you kid.

wait till he brings his buddies from bodybuilding forum

Personally think it's a disgrace that Kohli and ABDV were not named in the five.

the Wisden list is about players that have an impact on English cricket.

I'm a very sensitive person, and while I'm not entirely sure what "gobbing off" means or if I was being insulted or being hit on but I can assure you I'm into women in any case

They need to be above 18 years old before you can call them 'women' mate.

too far mang

 

[Daemon]

yeah that was bad

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Is there a bodybuilder on CW? Are we allowed to troll him about his tiny tiny roid testicles?

 

[Gnske]

Why tease? Roids actually make the testes better. NSFW friendos

 

[Smudge]

Give ***** seven!

holy **** that was weird when she said "dick hanging lower than the balls" in a deeper voice than him.

wow.

I’ve been watching the NZ Pak test today.

KW is as good a batsman as I’ve ever seen. What a player.

 

[Bahnz]

Fun thread to read back through, especially the origins of the “KW can’t cover drive!” meme. Also loved Flem’s comment from 2010 saying “In 10 years that Rachin kid will be as good as Sachin”. Well, he’ll probably be playing for NZ soon, so that’s a start.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well hopefully Southee, Boult, McClenaghan and Wagner will come through. I'm more worried about lack of quality spinners after Dan though.

Wow this post from 2009 nailed it.

 

[Flem274*]

Nah, we have the Rachin kid. In ten years he'll be like Sachin.

We should last a little longer than ten years when half the talented blokes are hovering around 20 atm.

Should. Not will.

this is the year of truth, especially since we could actually lose ross, watling, cdg and wagner this year haha

I noticed a lot of people are coming after Williamson for his away record these days (not CW). It’s just so incomplete though, New Zealand just do not get invited to tour overseas. He’s played 4 test matches in England his whole career, Smith and Kohli would get that in a month. He’s played 3 in South Africa (one of them was washed out) and the first 2 were when he was only 22.

Effectively he hasn’t played an away series against the West Indies since 2014, England since 2015, India 2016 and South Africa he’s played in one test since 2013. You can’t score runs if you aren’t even given a chance to do so....

Awesome thread, good read. The decade has moved on but I still see the same theme here for our current younger crop. He's too young, leave him be for another couple of seasons, compared to players that probably played less than 10-20 test matches. All due to Kane's age then.

I'm not sure why age has anything to do with cricket? If they're good, they're good enough. Whether they're 19 or 35+ if they're of good quality then they deserve to be playing top level cricket in some format.

Glad Kane was from ND and got to bat on reasonable decks then. If he was playing for Wellington right now and didn't score couple of games he would have been dropped

We now have three different formats, no excuse for selectors or management to not give the good ones a good in some formats.

I like the we're very good in all formats at the moment but we're not building good strength at the moment and still shy of providing opportunities for players consistently.

Why wouldn't you play Duffy in all three T20 games if you thought he's good enough? Why is Tickner not given reasonable run? Rest some players if it had to be done. Resting one player each game in T20s and one day is not going to make much difference to us right now in my opinion.
