That was gutting. Lord Colin and Jeetan Patel bowled pretty well in that one from memory.

Mt Maunganui usually the best spinning pitch in NZ. And the forecast for the next week in the lead-up is unusually hot and windy for the upper North Island. The pitch will potentially be quite dry. Yeah, this is the venue were NZ lost to Bangladesh. Having 1 or 2 spinners in the side is worth...

And the first game in that series Ross and Trent both broke down with injuries in the first half of the game. So yeah, don't feel so bad about claiming this now.

Bowlers did as expected, they are a bunch of journeymen so not much expected. Batting bar beddingham and De Swardt was extremely disappointing as these are guys are in contention for the main squad.
Well done to NZ on the win. Kane brilliant as always and O'Rourke looks a real find.

Apparently would be 11 if he didn't get the 50* in the WTC final.

Should've deliberately got out for 49

Truth is Kane is still quite rusty as he hasn't chalked up a fifty for years.

Not outs shouldn't count for the purpose of this stat.

Not saying they should, just saying the only time he's failed to convert in his last 12 tons was because he ran out of runs to chase in the fourth dig.
Williamson is an outstanding player and has had an outstanding series - 3 centuries in 4 innings says it all.
But there should be an asterisk against the whole series - S Africa sent such a weakened team that it barely warrants being classed as a test series.
None of that is Williamson's fault of course but of all the many 100's he's scored, these 3 must rank pretty low on the list.

Scoring a winning 100 in the 4th innings chasing a decent total will always rank high.
imagine the pressure on him

KW is a diamond. Diamonds don't feel pressure, pressure feels the diamond.

This seems like a recipe for not recognising any of Steve Smith's centuries as I'm regularly informed by Burgey that all teams are significantly inferior to Australia.
Without this hundred, we potentially lose the Test and don't win the series. It had pressure written all over it and he delivered on a pitch where few had before him. I'd say it ranks higher than you'd expect. He averaged 134 across the series, Rachin averaged 70 but failed 3 times, Bedingham averaged 67 then of the guys who played both Tests, the next best average is 33. SA's attack deserves more respect. I could name quite a few 'first-string' attacks that have come out here with less quality. Test cricket is so nuanced, it's so demanding, unless you're playing literally a club side there's no asterisk.
