2 wickets down. Thanks for the gallant stand openers.

Thank goodness we picked Craig for his batting insurance he offers. Oh wait...

Maybe if you put in a minimum number of tests. Remember Skippy Sinclair would have averaged 200 by himself once upon a time.

True, but Sinclair probably never had a guy averaging 47 at the other end at any time. I was thinking of the highest of the lowest of the two batsmen, if that makes sense.

Jones and Crowe would be close as Jones was over 50 for a fair bit of his career and Crowe 46 or so.

Yep, 31/01/1991 Jones Averaged 49.32 and Crowe 48.25. Crowes highest average at any point in his Career, so I'm guessing thats the best baring any pair who have just had good debut's.

Ross Taylor ave: 46.65
Kane Williamson ave: 48.98

Must be the highest NZ has ever had on the field in a Test, no?

Nah, there's actually been a few occasions NZ batsmen have had really high averages at the same time, if only for a short time.

There's was a time around 1990 that Greatbatch & Jones averaged 50+ and Crowe mid 40s & another around 2003 that Styris & Richardson averaged >50 at the same time and Oram 40 iirc.

But for well established careers, it's the best since Jones and Crowe in the mid 40s.

If I am Jono Wells I am asking for a case of beer and a bottle of deluxe hard stuff after this game. Has really done some hard yards out there.

Ian Chapple is right about Joe Burns, I also have never seen someone clobbered about as much. Also had a lot of near misses. How many times has he been hit. At least 5 I think.
