D'Arcy Waldegrave: This is peak Kane Williamson

This is peak Kane Williamson   Last night New Zealand’s greatest test batsmen called it a day.   He scuppered the ship.   The Kiwi batting GOAT decided, whilst sitting on the deck at Lords, that he’d put a fork in it. He’s done.   This is him to a tee. The Holy Grail of test batting, 10,000 runs, was beckoning. One last chance to topple the Ockers at their place was there. The opportunity to wind up an incredible career at home with a nationwide celebration against the might of India was right in front of him.  Many reasons to soldier on.   But that ain’t Kane.   He was never there to feather his own nest, to lord it up with dominant numbers, to wave his bat in the air and say look at me.    He was almost embarrassed to celebrate his milestones.   His personification of the humble Kiwi sportsman was all about what he could do for the team, how his contribution affected the greater good – which was always the Black Caps.    He’s moved on at the top of his game. His decision, not an enforced move, his call alone. No-one else.   In his delightfully understated manner, he said “playing that last game at Lord’s is kind of cool.”   He goes quietly into the night, putting the team he has so much respect for, ahead of himself.   Peak Kane Williamson.   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
