18 test 100s at an average of 51. If he hadn't already, he is now cemented in the record books as NZs GOAT batsmen. What a privilege it is to see him play in his prime.

Batsman. Paddles is still no 1 to me.

Yes, edited to clarify.

Quite special to have been able to watch two world class Kiwi batsmen in Martin Crowe and Kane Williamson in the last 35-odd years. Two of our greatest.
Don't forget Rossco. Check his figures when you get a moment.....

Imagine how much better he would have been if he'd had his eyes fixed earlier

Wasted review, show some stones Nicholls and tell Kane he was plum. Anything less than a 250 lead would be a wasted opportunity imo. Agree with Smithy that CdG can shift the pace... But he could also go for fark all ☺

@mn5 No, am not fogetting Rossco, and don't require to check his figures.
You're saying he's not in that echelon? I'm really interested to hear the reasoning behind this considering he's arguably second batsman down on an all time BCs 11.

Well, that was more than showers. Serious rain at the park mid to late afternoon, so pulled the pin and bailed. Got to see Ton 18 for Williamson, which is one for the memory banks (and suck on that www.16tun.co.nz).
Nicholls looked good. decent judgement, when he played short stuff really kept on top of it. Good stuff. Should have told Williamson not to bother with the review though.
All in all, a good day at the cricket. not enough play, but some sun, some ribs, and some good Black Cap action. Enough for me anyway

@nzzp what's the story with 16tun? Not a fan of Frankie Laine?
just a cheap dad joke punning eighteen tuns with a beer venue. It's a good craft beer bar, for what it's worth. It just doen's have as many test centuries as Crowe, Taylor or Williamson

is it rain off or?
Hosed down. Stayed dry. Then hosed down again. Got wet three times being outside. Still worth it for a day out at the cricket that included Ribs, Williamson's 18th, and dominance of the english.
-
Deserved 50 for Nicholls. He takes some stick on here, myself included, but he's played some high quality innings against very good opposition in his short career to date. Worth perservering with.

It's actually been a nice day in Aucks today, only the last half hour it's clouded over... and now the rain
