Cracking innings. Well done Kane.
not so great, this pitch is obviously a road
Compared to his team mates it was brilliant.

this stat as put on cricinfo
Here's a stat for you - since 2017 Kane Williamson has averaged 60.48 in test cricket, an impressive stat by itself, however his weakness has been susceptibility early. If he gets past just 5 runs his average leaps up to massive 93.90!"
huge if true
A modern day Bradman
Which is apparently no big deal according to the batting averages thread 😉
Bradman is a myth
Doubt whether he even existed.

Kylo also mastered the conditions getting 51 NO. The kid has great temperament

Williamson finally out for his highest test score of 251.
His test average jumps from 50.99 to 52.55.
God damn he’s a little champ. Loving his work

A good article on Stuff about Williamson's standing amongst NZ's batsmen.
-
NZ tearing it up this a.m.
6 runs 3 wickets.
Timmah has two. Boult grabs the other.
Good catch by Blundell.
-
Awful batting by Brathwaite just hanging the bat

Good article and hard to argue any of it to be honest aside from maybe putting Taylor at 3.
It’s easy to forget a guy like Andrew Jones, him and Crowe at 3 and 4 were brilliant.

5 down now.
Kylo cleans out Bravo, then Wags (We loves Wags) gets the LB on review.
79-5

Jamieson looks to be a great allrounder in the making.
Ball is still hooping around even though its 63 overs old.
Do we enforce follow on? I think we do if the conditions remain the same.
I would bat unless rain is expected. Put on a quick 150, rest the bowlers, wear out the opposition.

Ordinarily I would agree. Here though the ball is hooping around like mad, and we've already had some rain. I think the play is to finish it off asap.

Kolkata 2001 (?) showed us how followons can go poorly. If the bowlers get tired, things can get away from you. That said, given we're halfway through the day and have some rain, I think it's arguable to enforce. But, Tim has bowled 17 overs already... it starts to add up quickly.

Such a dream start to his career. He’s in an established team with other excellent players, I really hope he maintains the momentum.

Pretty disappointing effort from the Windies after the openers showed nice application last night. Holder will be especially disappointed that his bowlers didn't use the conditions as effectively as ours. Follow on feels like the right decision. Massive lead and a pitch that should only get easier to bat on. Batting last probably an advantage overall. We've basically taken 9 wickets in a little over a session so massive momentum with the bowlers.
