When he’s gone in a few years… we are kinda in the **** aren’t we?**** it's good having a big daddy isn't it?
Sucks to suck.Last.
that average goes to about 82.6 if he gets half the remaining runs and remains not out here…Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

I'm gonna say if he stays till the end he'll have scored more than half. Nobody else seems to be able to score at a strike rate of over about 20 atm.that average goes to 81.15 if he gets half the remaining runs and remains not out here…
I think most NZ posters would agree with me. If he's in the top 10 then it's a thin list. He has feasted far too much on teams that don't factor in the strongest of their era.Maybe you've been watching too much Bazball mate He's a solid opener with good stats. Averages ~10 higher than Crawley for example and probably wears the bowlers down 2x the deliveries. Almost certainly one of the top 10 world openers in the last 10 years or more.
And even that'd be much more acceptable if he was helping NZ win or save close Tests against those teams. But Latham's runs have rarely actually mattered because NZ have been a very good side at home in that period and beaten lesser teams comfortably.I think most NZ posters would agree with me.

SENZ live.What radio station is that on?
Yeah good point, otherwise it's pretty thin. You can go from Conway to Kane to Mitchell to Blundell and name their epics, but Latham just hasn't produced them. It's so disappointing, as I say I was a strong supporter of him as an NZ great and now I just think he's an NZ better than averageHis hundred vs SL in the second test in 2019 is probably his career best performance imo. NZ 1-0 down in the series, tricky wicket, KW and Ross both dismissed cheaply. Went on to play a beautiful counter attacking innings that set up a victory in the closing stages of day 5. At the time I'd hoped it would be a watershed moment in his career. Sadly not.
Asides from that there really isn't much since his back to back hundreds in the UAE in 2014. Mostly just handy contributions, like the 80 he scored v England at the Basin last year.
