Black Caps Tour to Zimbabwe
-
If Kane gets his 100 then he has tons against every test playing nation. What a legend.
-
<p>All hail King Kane.</p>
-
<p>According to Cricinfo, he is just the 13th player to score a Test hundred against all nine other Test playing nations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Martin Crowe never scored one against South Africa.</p> -
This coverage is gold.<br><br>
Can hear all the background noise - the ball thudding into the bat, the 6 people in the crowd, the ground announcer, the Zimbos trying to be positive in the field, but no dreary commentary. <br><br>
Thumbs up.<br><br>
And well done Kane, I hope to see you still batting when the bloody voice is finished. -
<p>Snap, Siam !</p>
-
<p>Time to make it rain boys, put these guys to the sword even more than the first test.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Easy to get a bit blasé about the amount of decent Rugby players we produce but the two guys batting at the moment are top fucken notch. Appreciate them while you can.</p> -

<p>He has a ton against all other 9 test playing nations. Quickest player (in terms of innings) to reach that milestone. But man he joins an elite group of players. I'm surprised there aren't more.</p>

<p>Cricinfo tells me if he gets a ton <u>in</u> SA next month then he has scored test tons <u>in</u> every test nation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That would be an even smaller list of players.</p> -

<p>First 25 tests he averaged 31 with 3 hundreds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Second 25 tests he averages 73 with 11 hundreds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But not good enough to make an arbitrary test XI picked by Atherton et al that I saw on the interwebs .....</p>

<p>Pfffft, who cares what a bloke who batted like a 70 year old man thinks.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>stink. KW gone. But shit how good is he that we start to regard 113 as "Good, but should have done better?"</p> -
Not quite, as he has never played in Pakistan.
-
<p>Important here for Nicholls to score. Couldn't ask for a better situation to come in to.</p>

<p>Most good teams hardly play Bangladesh and Zimbabwe plus those teams have only been around for 20 years.</p> -
<p>WTF was that from Nicholls. Horrible shot where the sweep was never on. The guy plays far too loosely to be considered test standard.</p>

<p>Geez AM, I don't think I've ever seen a ferner have an about face like that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I must say though, something of a micro collapse which is disappointing.</p>
