The Kane Williamson Average Watch thread

[Blocky]

Indian Blue, West Indies red around the edges, that's a fair representation of sides that Smith has scored runs against - with the big central piece being those he hasn't.

Pounded easy runs against West Indies and India, did nothing when it mattered for his side - I dislike that, it's the same reason I dislike Ross Taylor.

Yet, you don't give him credit on the other extreme... Rule aren't set up for him to win are they?

Are we still celebrating 44* scratchy runs in a total of 85 that his team got dusted up in?

A good innings would have been him shepherding the tail more, that they collapsed and faced as many balls as he did in the final overs was pathetic.

Smith has as many 100s in England as Root has combinedin every country he has played outside of England.

What does Root have to do with the discussion? This is a Williamson vs Smyth discussion. Go take your English bashing to an English fan.

Where was the criticism of Francois not shielding his number 11 last night when they had a sub par total on the board? Blocky mate, you're going to pop a gasket here soon. Ease up.

I was criticising Faf for not accelerating more and getting more overs in at the Australians while the night session was in - did you not see that?

also, look at his limited overs + t20 cricket to get an indication that he's been on the better side of luck in test cricket versus kohli, root, abdv, williamson who are all equally good in the limited overs stuff as they are the test stuff.

ftr.

Blocky getting wound up like a thousand day clock here.

Williamson averages in England, India and South Africa (choosing them because in my eyes they're the three hardest places for an overseas to tour in recent years)

England: 30.87
South Africa: 21.16
India: 35.46

Smith's.....

England: 43.31
South Africa: 67.25
India: 40.25

Who's the FTB now?

I don't think he knows what he's arguing about. Just now in the other thread he said Williamson is the 4th best bat after Smith, Root, Kohli trifecta. Now he seems to be insinuating that Smith is worse than Williamson,

Come talk to me when Smith isn't batting 5 and profiting from the conditions that the top order set for him.

He's been dogshit in this series.

Smith's averaged like 50 in his last 3 years of ODI cricket tbf.

You must be run by energizer batteries mate

Don't you ever give up?

LOL did you watch him in the last match? And a bigger LOL at the first comment. Because Aus have Langer, Hayden, Punter and Clarke st 1,2,3,4 right.....delusional.

When you guys are talking small sample sizes around averages to make a point, I realise how desperate you are. There is very little point talking about Smith in South Africa because he hasn't even had ten matches there.

According to you guys, Voges is the second best bat ever.

What?! Only 9 people in the history of cricket have played more than 10 away tests in SA. Are you serious? Clearly you're trying to elicit a response and incite people here. No way you're serious.

 

[Blocky]

9 innings, 2 "scores", 2 ducks and 5 failures... and we're wanting to use his average in South Africa to prove a point?

That's why I don't take your stats seriously, they're freaking ridiculous.

Blocky's OCD about the TPC (yeah you know me!)
