I look at it this way Freeze without Kane Williamson NZ would not have played in the last 2 WC Finals and I doubt even made the Semis.
He is the best batsman (along with the late Martin Crowe) in NZ's cricket history.

BH ....totally agree mate....but considering the guy only made 30 in the final....would of he been player of the tournament if India had beaten NZ in their semi?.....don't think so......but hey considering the unfortunate series of events which happened Jim Carey style in the final, you gotta Gove NZ some consolation....funny to think NZ big 3 in Williamson, Taylor and Boult did fark all in the final, NZ lost by only boundary countback in the end

Those numbers dont surprise me mate cricket is a massive worldwide sport, we all love our footy but it is only really relevant here in Australia.
