Kane Williamson

[achilles]

I hope he's just as good on pitches that are bowler-friendly.

[fineleg]

With the series coming to a close, just a summary on Kane W. Looks very impressive, may not have scored a mountain of runs, but a fantastic prospect for NZ. Very good technique, and excellent temperament. Good fielder as always in a NZ team.

[ZodiaC]

Yep, excellent fielder, good batsman, great temperament. Strong on backfoot. Most promising test prospect from NZ in a while. Will wait till he plays the poyz at home though.

[Sachinism]

Needs a ban on his chucking

Needs a ban on his chucking

Yep, blatant chucker. Should be banned from bowling.

[Raghav_12]

Bump Has he arrived? His innings of y'day would have made quite a seasoned batsman proud.

Williamson finds the missing fight http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-south-africa-2012/content/current/story/558927.html

Williamson remained at the crease for 75.5 overs, 44.4 of them with Nos. 7 and 8, van Wyk and Doug Bracewell. He said he never felt safe at the crease as South Africa attacked in waves, the biggest of which came early in his innings, after South Africa were disappointed that the umpires allowed Williamson to continue when they thought he had been caught at point. "It comes and goes a little bit," Williamson said of South Africa's aggression. "As you start getting underway and gathering a little bit of momentum, the opposition side tend not to say as much, and then if there's a debatable catch they come at you a little bit harder. They came quite hard after the catching incident, which is to be expected. It's about trying to weather that and fight through it."

Williamson's a star in the making http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/559390.html

Williamson has a solid defence and an array of strokes, including flowing cover- and off drives, and an ability with shots off his pads to consistently find gaps on the on side. His old-fashioned late cuts, which surely must be a throwback to those seen in the days of Victor Trumper, Charlie Macartney, Jack Hobbs and Denis Compton, gladdened the heart of Neil Harvey, arguably Australia's greatest batman since Don Bradman. Williamson's artistry and good old-fashioned guts brought generous praise also from former South African champion Barry Richards, who was at the ground as a TV commentator.

[Marut]

A potential future great.

[Cricket Tragic]

Good player. I don't think he will become a great one though.

[Sachinism]

How good has Kane turned out to be? What a seriously brilliant batsman. The potential was always there, he's living up to it

[Cricket_Hacker]

Looks unmovable at times.The new dravid?

[Vilander]

Next Nathan Astle.

[diga]

Next Nathan Astle.

Actually much more classical than Astle.. I would say next Martin Crowe BTW, a great declaration from McCullum.. sets a target of 309 in 98 overs for west indies.. Imagine Dhobi or Cook doing this :winky:

[diga]

WI 2 down already.. Gayle is still gutsing it out
