The Kane Williamson Average Watch thread

[Chrish]

would like to see him perform under tough conditions before rating him.. NZ's last tour to SA was a tragedy to say the least!

Like scoring an unbeaten hundred to save a Test with a couple of guys bowling 150km with a 30km wind behind them, while the rest of his side falls over...against the same side you just named?

You should really rate him now. He's good. Not certain how his captaincy is going to go, however.

He is a very bright prospect and has shown remarkable consistency over past few years. The only reservation I have is his big performances have come against SL and WI who were weak bowling units at the time. If he puts up more big performances against SA, Aus or Eng I would have no issue putting him in the same bracket as guy like steve smith.

I find it's usually best to actually watch the game, or at the very least look at the scorecard and get an actual read of how the game went rather than just look at a players highest scores list. I mean would you write off Steve Smith scoring 240* in a third innings with his team 130 runs behind after the first innings and 5 down for bugger all in the second dig? I think not.

Have seen them all play: Smith, Root, Williamson, Rahane.. These are the new gen. players who have impressed me the most as a cricket fan..

KW's ODI average after his 90 against Zimbabwe in the 3rd ODI: 48.79.

One big not out away from cracking the 50.

 

[_Ed_]

47.02.

 

[Jezroy]

47.19 & 48.02 - choo choo!

It is starting to look possible now. A big daddy 100 in perth would be nice.

Apart from AB DeVilliers and Hashim Amla who else has averaged over 50 in both at the same time? I am pretty sure that Trott did before his horror last 18 months in test cricket. Was young Viv over the 50 mark in both at some stage? Virat K might in the future.

Hussey averaged 80+ in both tests and ODIs in mid 2007.after 20 tests and 50ODIs.

KW Test average after the Second Test in Perth: 49.26

One more decent innings (120 runs or so) and he'll get there, assuming no sudden form slump.

 

[Athlai]

If AB wasn't a thing I'd call him the best in the world right now. Bloody AB.

 

[Bahnz]

Will be interesting to see how far he moves up the rankings. I'm presuming Smith will stay ahead of him after his 2nd innings hundred, but you'd assume Kane would go ahead of Amla and maybe Root too.

Warner will no doubt move up.

Are you sure about that?

 

[Howe_zat]

Start of 2007 rather than middle but apart form that he's right

The guy batted at six for a team that was playing so well he never bloody got out.

In ODIs, Hussey's average was better than his high score until he had played 35 matches.

Trying to work out how AB is short for Joe Root and struggling tbh

Root is behind Williamson, Smith, Mathews, Warner and AB at the moment IMO. Easily the best of all of them at age 24 though.

 

[mr_mister]

behind Matthews? Disagree

 

[Athlai]

Mathews is easily the most underrated player on CW. Since taking the captaincy he has been an absolute gun.
