People lambasting Williamson and Taylor's run rate should take a look at themselves and see if they are just reflexively being critical of the Black Caps out of habit, or they just don't understand cricket. It was obvious after about 20 overs that the pitch wasn't the belter that the commentators thought it was initially, it was slow and two paced, and 260 would have been a great score, and 230 defendable.
What a performance! Palms were literally sweating while Jadeja and Dhoni were going, couldn't sleep until after 3am!
Check out James Nokise on RNZ- lols
Wow, just checked him out and was expecting to get mad at another Duncan Johnstone type, then breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this
"People praising Kane Williams 67 off 95 while lashing out at Ross Taylor for 67* off 85 is pretty much how Kiwi Cricket fans have treated Taylor his whole career".
It's what i've been saying for a long time (obviously not that exact sentence - but the sentiment). I was raging about that from all the comments I was seeing during the partnership, and after day 1. Especially the "Williamson getting out was Taylor's fault because of the run rate pressure Taylor was putting on him being so slow." comments.
Thanks, will follow James now.
Dude's a comedian from an PI background and a cricket fan, not a sports journo so yeah different take and that
