Kane Williamson

I noticed a lot of people are coming after Williamson for his away record these days (not CW). It’s just so incomplete though, New Zealand just do not get invited to tour overseas. He’s played 4 test matches in England his whole career, Smith and Kohli would get that in a month. He’s played 3 in South Africa (one of them was washed out) and the first 2 were when he was only 22.

Effectively he hasn’t played an away series against the West Indies since 2014, England since 2015, India 2016 and South Africa he’s played in one test since 2013. You can’t score runs if you aren’t even given a chance to do so....

it's reddit bro, just stats filter their favourite players record back at them.

The rubbish that gets posted in that reddit these days is why I joined this forum instead tbh.

Kane arguably pretty comfortably number 1 right now in the ICC rankings. Smith and Kohli are obviously still at a very high ranking but Williamson has only extended his lead. Has reached a new peak of 919 and moved to 22nd best ever peak in the alltime rankings.

Wonder if this is the highest ever top 3 score in an era of all time?

Possible contenders:
Bradman, Hammond, Headley, Nourse
3 Ws + Harvey
Some point in the 00s surely

I think I should do this but from a fairer starting date where no cricket is played. Apr 1st maybe? The Jan 12 date obviously is right in the middle of things.

The results of it anyway

Fair enough

trundler · Jan 12, 2021

The World War 2 years give us Bradman 952, Headley 902 and Hammond 870. Given how the scale is logarithmic I reckon this is most impressive.

3rd hunch redeemed

Why is 2nd higher than 1st for 2019

trundler · Jan 12, 2021

I had a look at the bowling rankings for 1974 on that date and 721,721 and 713 is the top 3. Sounds like a truly dreadful era for cricket from those numbers.

typo -100

Athlai · Jan 12, 2021

I'll put most of this in a proper thread when i'm done as I've only done 2021-1979 so far

But best batting
2007 -Ponting - MoYo-Pietersen

Best Bowling
2002 - Murali-McGrath-Pollock

Best Allrounders
2003-Kallis-Pollock-Cains

Worst Batting
1993- Richardson-Gooch-Smith

Worst Bowling
1979 - Ian Botham-Bob Willis-RodneyHogg

Worst Allrounders
1994 - Steve Waugh, Wasim Akram, Manoj Prabhakar

So far two players have been in these lists that I'm not familiar with

Manoj Prabhakar and Gundappa Viswanath

Athlai · Jan 12, 2021

I've also more or less statistically proven that the worst era of cricket in the last 40 odd years was 1991-1995
