Oh then I misunderstood your point and JedBrah was correct to point that out to me.
The thing about Hadlee is that he averaged 27 in test cricket with the bat but he had a knack of getting handy scores at the right times and with impetus. He didn't hang around, he'd move the game forward and he'd get a good 35 or something that would really add a bit of confidence to the team innings at the right time.
That's the core of it for me. Essentially to be compared to Hadlee, KW has to surpass Crowe by a similar margin. KW already has a higher average and 13 tons to Crowe's 17, so it seems inevitable that he will. The question is where he does so by enough.
Nah gold doesn't bend
Gold is the most malleable of all metals, and that's a fact.
quit ruining my trolling with facts
Cheers, my point precisely....not to mention 8-fers
that only happened because you couldn't differentiate "needs to" from "will do" and when you decide something is impossible you go off your nut, even if it's a chat about hypotheticals.
what a rigged example
There is no point discussing impossible hypotheticals. It is like saying how many centuries does Tim Southee need to score to come into the mix with some of our better all rounders such as Vettori or Cairns.
Only if one finds the exercise disconcerting. I personally love hypothetical batsman/bowler comparisons. e.g. Tendulkar the batsman vs. Hadlee the bowler.
And how did JediBrah get in here? Need better security.
How much better would the Black Caps had been in the last eight to ten years had Jesse managed himself better.
