Bad light at the Basin?

Does a bit of damage to the argument against the 12pm start in Dunedin.

The earlier you start, the more play you can get in before bad light stops play.
Starting a match at 12pm is just silly. I understand that they want to get the afterwork crowd in for the last session, but whether or not it usually stays bright until late, bright morning weather should not be wasted.

Williamson has pulled ND out of the ****ter here. Which is good to see from an 18 year old. Currently on his highest FC score of 87, he has 20 mins to bring up a ton, light permitting...hopefully he can do it.

Wow, I'm so impressed with my own cricket knowledge sometimes. This morning I said that Kane would get a first class ton within a week, and look what happens!

3 times this season he's got out when a century is for the taking. Well, atleast we know he is definitely a kiwi!

Haha, well theres a classic case of speaking a bit too soon! Another very promising knock by the sounds of it from Williamson though, given the position ND were in at four down for about 70.

Yeah, give him a go as opener for the 2nd test, I say.

I'm not so keen on that idea. If he had some experience opening for ND, maybe.

One more season after this season of FC cricket, and if he does well and gets a few tons under his belt, then give him a gig in the National side. Perhaps only in the ODI's to start. I reckon debuting him sometime when he is near 20 would be a good idea...if he continues performing of course.

And if there's a spot available for him in the team of course. I can't see Taylor or Ryder being dropped...well...ever, Flynn seems to be making a decent fist of the number 3 role, and Big Jake will still be around next year to slot in at number 6. In spite of all our crappy recent form, in a couple of years time it might be very difficult for a youngster like Williamson to force his way into the national side.

Yeah, that's the main reason I said probably only in the ODI team to start. There is always opportunities for players in the OD form of the game whether it is through rotation of injury.
