2025-2026 Summer of Cricket

Not gonna lie I'm not surprised Williamson has announced his retirement but thought it'd be at the end of the test series rather than halfway through it.

Simon Doull did say the other day after the first test some big news out of the NZ team would come out.

That Lords pitch finished off Kane the way the Perth road finished off Mitchell Johnson. A shame we didn’t get to see a final decent knock from him.

He finishes with:

9515 test runs at 54.06, 33 hundreds, 38 fifties
7256 ODI runs at 48.69, 15 hundreds, 47 fifties
2575 t20i runs at 33.44, 123.08 strike rate

It’s a shame he didn’t end up hitting the 10,000 run milestone. Definitely the best bat to come out of New Zealand

Class player, up with the best of them

Kane was a great batsman, a very worthy opponent who as far was I am aware, was always well behaved, unlike some current players.

Yeah there’s no question he’d ever get up to anything that would bring the game into disrepute. A great ambassador for the game.
