Whatever it takes!!!
OS is bad but he is not so bad to have crossed over to the other side of the border.
Maybe some of his multis have, though.

This was when home was UAE and Yasir Shah was a cheat code? Still don't recall Pakistan doing much of note overseas. Probably a case of most teams being under par at the same time.
Yeah, Yasir was sh!t hot at the time. Batting was the strong suit though. Younis, Misbah and Hafeez were still in the team. Azhar Ali, Shafique and Safraz were very good in support. Loads of very fast and dangerous left arm seamers around the team too in Junaid, Wahab and Amir.

Crazy, in 2016 people were seriously putting forward Pakistan as best in the world. How times have changed.

Not even close to being a top 3 side. In fact current NZ is closer to Pakistan/Bangladesh/West Indies/Sri Lanka than they are to Aus/Eng/Ind/SA.

Didn't we had this discussion before and showed how NZ batting is tiers above SA and also better than England??

We are currently seeing that having known popular names in your team doesn't automatically make them much better batters. The likes of Mitchell, Latham, Conway, Ravindra, Philips get seriously overrated since they play in the IPL as they are well known names there. But in terms of their quality in test cricket around the world, they are pretty mediocre it has to be said. They are not a lot better than SA in batting.

He's right the NZ bats are overrated

Pretty much what ataraxia said, a really bad take.

NZ batting is definitely better than SA but I would go for England's batting simply because of the Root factor

NZ batting is better than SA's but not "tiers" better than SA's
When did I even dispute that Nz batting is not better than SA's?

No way.... Williamson has done **** all in IND, SA, ENG and SL in his career

They are better but not a lot better. Not few tiers above SA.
They are well established in limited overs so they get seriously overrated in tests.

He played 1 game in SA since turning 23; and most of the matches in India before that as well. Is much better at home as well. Don't think there's much between those two.

Had a favourable schedule too.
Only toured SENA once between 2010 and 2016 England visits. Was whitewashed in SA in 2013.
Eng 2016 2-2 was good but then got whitewashed in NZ and Aus later in the year.

Nah this is a bad take. Root is a tier above Williamson. Kane is the biggest fraud of this generation's batsmen. Massive home track bully

Disagree actually. Played 1 match in SA after 23, as well a 3 match India tour. Hardly worse in England than Root in Australia. Root nowhere near as productive at home. Overall, Root is better but a tier is wild and shows how easily opinions here gets swayed. For reference, not more than 6 months ago Williamson beat out Root in the Test batsmen Poll.
