    @Rapido said in Black Caps v South Africa Tests:

    Quiz. If you can name the 3rd best* NZ batsman at the age of 24 years and 78 days.
    Not an overly obvious one, but had a fast start to his career.

    • Best is subjective. A runs and average combination.

    Craig McMillan?

    so returning to the cricket Mitchel went to an amazing c&b and Blundell has joined him after a quick 11. Ravindra on 199*

    391/5

    Phillips in.

    Not withstanding his stats as the greatest all rounder ever ( Batting average 46 and bowling 16 ) he’s very much a batting all rounder. Interesting that Blundell bats ahead of him given he’s certainly not a frontline bowler by any stretch.

    Philips running like an idiot. Zero sense from him when Ravindra is on 199*

    Yeah, NZ seem to obsessed with having the keeper bat at 6 which makes sense when your trying to play someone like Santner as your allrounder, but doesn't make sense if you allrounder is someone like M Bracewell of Phillips who would be more batters than bowlers.

    I’m pretty confident in saying I think Ravindra is going to go on and surpass Williamson and be our best batsman.

    When Kane was Rachin's age. He already had 7 test centuries, 2300 test runs at an average of 40.

    The selectors didn’t hold Williamson back like they have Ravindra…

    Anywho, well done young fulla. Great knock.

    Correct.
    (1843 runs at 41.88 with 4 centuries. Arguably you could say it is second best ahead of Crowe, actually)

    Our top seven all average more than 40. Four of them average more than 50.

    Disclaimer: some are very early in their careers.

    Na I reckon about 6ish.

    Give them an awkward half hour in potentially dodgy light.

    When Kane came into the Blackcaps test side, the Blackcaps were crap, so Kane was a breath of fresh air so to speak.

    The bash is on and Phillips perishes for the cause. 473-6, 38 overs left in the day, 15 minutes until tea. Bat until an hour to go in the day?
