WI in NZ - Final Stats & Review (Batting)

Mon, Dec 22, '25 at 5:35 AM

J.Greaves 283 runs @ 56 - mammoth innings in 2nd test (202*) propels him to the top of the list


S.Hope 255 runs @ 42 - excellent 1st test with century & fifty, 3rd test ruined by illness. Needs to be decisive against short ball, otherwise sound


B.King 185 runs @ 46 - missed 1st test then recorded a pair of fifties after a pair of starts to finish the series well. More to come going forward


K.Hodge 158 runs @ 52 - excellent knock in the final test after missing the first game, came back well with a valiant effort


J.Campbell 135 runs @ 22 - got a couple of starts but failed to kick on. Shocking brain fade led to the collapse in the final innings of the tour


T.Imlach 81 runs @ 16 - needs to do more with the bat but excels as a keeper


K.Roach 77 runs @ 25 - gritty fifty in the opening test, welcome return from the veteran


T.Chanderpaul 58 runs @ 29 - missing through injury for 2 matches after promising half century in the opener


A.Athanaze 56 runs @ 14 - poor returns once again with only a solitary start across four innings. For the much lauded batsman, needs to really step it up at test level


R.Chase 42 runs @ 7 - abysmal performance with the bat by the captain, to go with an equally poor showing with the ball. Should be nowhere near the test team


A.Phillip 32 runs @ 8 - stuck around when needed at times


J.Seales 17 runs @ 4


O.Shields 9 runs @ 3


J.Layne 0 runs



Overall, grade C, the biggest issue by far a patent lack of runs from the captain. The batting as a group managed to put up a pair of plus 400 scores, obviously reason for comfort but the repeated collapses (totals of below 170 in each test) remains of major concern.

Man waan drop Imlach, at least his keeping was good, but his homie offers nothing, yet very quiet when mentioning him.
