If NZ can get enough games he should be their first NZ player to reach 10,000 test runs. Lots of variables to take into account though.

Does beg the question though. Martin Crowe or Kane Williamson as NZ best bat.......

I didn't realise that Martin and Russell Crowe were related. Cousins seemingly

I think I always thought that Russell was Australian

(that's probably really offensive to a Kiwi... and he likes a scrap..... Sorry Russ!)

Got a feeling he is an Aussie now. He moved to Sydney as a child in the hope that one day he might appear in Neighbours.

Russel has appeared in neighbors, along with Guy Pearce.

Unless you meant Russel's child
