I agree with this. There's a time and a place for NcCullum, and I don't think it'll be this World Cup. For the record, he's played 23 ODIs in NZ/Aus for eight wickets at an average of 93.87 runs per wicket. Barring injury to Vettori, I think we can do better.

Yeah, Williamson would've given up around 30k from the sounds of things. WAG.

Williamson is a monster. Given his age, he could be the worlds best for more than ten years.

Williamson might touch #1 but he'll never consistently be #1.
It's nothing against his talent, more so it's just very hard for an English or NZ Batsman to be consistently #1 when they play over half their games in conditions that mostly suit the bowlers, meanwhile you've got players in Australia, India and Sri Lanka who get to play on pitches that favour batting for three out of the five days.
Kohli will likely be the worlds next consistent #1 once the current flock of 28-33 yr olds turn into retiring 38 yr olds. Rahane as an outside pick, looks absolute **** but seems to be able to score consistent runs, De Kock too.

Yeah nah. Most NZ pitches are roads these days, and anyway performances in unfriendly conditions count for moreanyway.
If Williamson isn't the best in the world it will be because someone else is better.
Oh wait, you were talking about the ICC rankings?

Such a nice gesture from Williamson and Milne.

Apparently Williamson gave all 5 of his match fees. That's a huge contribution. WAGSuch a nice gesture from Williamson and Milne.

WAG Milne too; he's an intermittent ODI player so financially speaking it'd hit him harder. Williamson obviously amazing though.

I don't agree with this at all. May be hard for them to be ranked #1, but at the end of the day who really cares about the ICC player rankings.

Yeah it's all about the CPL rankings really.

The whole point of his comment was Williamson being #1 in ranking. So I don't know why you somehow now think it's pertinent to say that you don't agree with ICC Player rankings.
