Bradman, Ponting and Clarke (4 in 2012). That's it I think... extremely short list.

I knew I was alright but I'm no Kippax. WAG

Highest ever 2nd wicket partnership for NZ now. Just overtook Jones and Wright

 

[Alex0paul]

Partnership will be 408

 

[Athlai]

Great innings, completely overshadowed by McCullum but I honestly can't think of a poor stroke in the lot of it.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Damn good innings.

 

[Zinzan]

Wonderful ton that, has looked sublime this morning Williamson. 24 years old with 8 test centuries to his name, wow.

 

[Hurricane]

Crikey is that 8 centuries now.

 

[Gnske]

Wonderful stuff from Williamson, so pleasing to watch.

 

[Zinzan]

Highest ever 2nd wicket partnership for NZ now. Just overtook Jones and Wright

And both this year. Incredible.

 

[Zinzan]

^ Get the feeling a new 9th wicket record might not be far away with the tail NZ have these days.

 

[Hurricane]

What's the 2nd fastest double hundred...

 

[Zinzan]

Sehwag is 2nd, 3rd & 4th in terms of deliveries
