***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

Argh Kane just stop playing that shot.

 

[hendrix]

I trust Williamson to play that shot against bowlers like sammy but he really should put it away against quicks

Agreed. It's a ***y shot but really it should only be played on slow wickets.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

pitch it the **** up gab

 

[hendrix]

It's been said before but god it's frustrating for a player like Williamson, averaging 35, to fail to cash in like that. Really need more selfishness from our batsmen.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I'd love to see how Tino would react if two singles like that were taken off his bowling

 

[straw man]

Very good Taylor. Don't lose that desire to rack up more and more runs. Be greedy.

 

[hendrix]

another double ton would be nice, Rossco.

 

[hendrix]

Talking about utilising Crowe's technical expertise to fix some of our batsmen's techniques. I must say, if Crowe can fix Guptill then he should be employed full time. His flaws are so obvious yet Bob Carter has done nothing whatsoever to fix his problems.

Taylor now ranked seventh in test batting rankings I see. Pretty amazing tbh.

Southee our highest bowler at 18th though presumably still weighed down by his results from >18 months ago.

I honestly can't remember a time we've had a batsman in the top 10.

If McCullum gets himself caught on the boundary...............

We are in a reasonable position right now, scoring fairly quickly owing to number of lose balls; risks like that are not needed.

It turns out Taylor also made it to 7 in 2010.

Turns out the last one was Richardson

Crowe: Highest ranking 3 - ( 29/01/1993 )
Richardson: Highest ranking 6 - ( 12/12/2003 )
Wright: Highest ranking 7 - ( 15/03/1990 )
Jones: Highest ranking 8 - ( 04/03/1994 )
Cairns: Highest ranking 10 - ( 15/11/2000 )
McMillan: Highest ranking 10 - ( 12/09/2000 )
Fleming: Highest ranking 12 - ( 01/02/1997 )
Astle: Highest ranking 17 - ( 13/03/2002 )

Styris, Oram, Vettori never broke 20

Surprising that Fleming's peak wasn't around 2003 or 2004 when he was making scores, certainly surprising his peak isn't higher than Cairns or McMillan. I certainly don't recall McMillan being in particularly peak form circa winter 2000. Actually, it was probably more the 2000/01 season where I recall him doing some stuff.

Fleming: Highest ranking 12 - ( 01/02/1997 )

Kind of surprised his peak ranking was way back in '97 - thought it might be when he started racking up the double-tons later in his career.

Edit: Beaten!

HAH

They're showing this on TV right now.

 

[Athlai]

I mean in terms of score.

 

[straw man]

@Athlai. Eh can't be bothered looking them all up again to get the number. Though the top 100 ever list has four NZers with Taylor the third: Alltime Test. Though hard to compare across eras because Crowe's rating was great for his era but doesn't even get him on the top 100 list.
