Will Kane Williamson get to 10,000 test runs?

[Shady Slim]

I remember when CW thought Sanga was a htb with only a couple of decent away knocks.

since when did @Himannv soeak for the forum

I remember when CW thought Sanga was a htb with only a couple of decent away knocks.

His career does absolutely perfectly dovetail with the start and end of a golden era of (relatively) easy batting, though. 2000 to 2015. I think his career span is most perfectly aligned. Can argue chicken and egg, though, I guess.

But, my brain also tells me that my eyes saw him score the best test century I have ever seen in NZ, so .... I struggle to downrate him.

 

[Athlai]

If you look at his record without the gloves, it's Sobersesque. Sanga while gun, isn't Sobers level. That's about as far as I'll let slander of the man go though.

Yeah, now its Williamson.

 

[Himannv]

What are you lot smoking in here? Sanga was a htb with only a couple of decent away knocks.

 

[Coronis]

At least he’s consistent. (@Himannv not Sanga)

 

[Jezroy]

Gonna keep bumping this ay

 

[ashley bach]

After his innings today only a fool would say no.

 

[Jezroy]

Hopefully it’s not NZC’s aversion to test matches that proves problematic.

It will be.

Nah, tennis elbow plus mashing our small test schedule into quickfire series means he can miss 4 of our 6-7 games per year very easily then spend a long time not batting in whites.

 

[ZK$]

He’ll get there. 2024 will be a big year for him.

 

[Burgey]

Only needs to play another three tests vs SL and he’ll get there very quickly

 

[Jezroy]

I guess we should also remember the WTC final in 2025 ?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

So with this injury will he just miss two away tests vs Bangladesh? Then we don't play any more tests until South Africa in February 24, which he should be ok for?

If so it's a pretty well-timed ACL in the #QuestFor10k

Is that confirmed now?

Rotten luck that injury. Seemed back in form and ripe to go on a bit of a spree. Hope he makes a full recovery. There's something pretty jarring when top players get hurt playing in meaningless T20 domestic games. Big worry for us with an Ashes tour around the corner that someone will get hurt laying IPL of all ****ing things.

other than Hazlewood and Cam Green i don't think any important test player of yours is playing in ipl. smart move from the players and board honestly, modern players play too much cricket at high intensity

 

[honestbharani]

I guess he can give up ODIs now and concentrate on tests and play the leagues to make some extra cash along the way? Unsure if he needs to play much T20I either, maybe give it one last go in the 2024 T20 WC.

Even that Bangladesh Test series isn't until after the World Cup, and nearly eight months away, so maybe he's still a chance of making it.
