Williamson the man for New Zealand

Much is expected of young New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson, and he hasn't done badly in his short international career so far. Daniel Richardson profiles him in the New Zealand Herald.

Considering the pressure that comes with being a test No 3 - sometimes you're a faux opener, sometimes you're the Mr Fix-it, sometimes you have to set the pace - the weight of a nation's cricketing hopes are on young shoulders, but Martin Crowe says it isn't going to be a burden for Williamson.

"Nah, not at all. He'll find playing at the top, month in, month out, you have your ups and downs. He'll be playing against Australia [next month] and that will certainly test him. But he'll grow into the role as he matures and there's no stopping him scoring as many runs as possible. He's just one of those finds that come along every now and then, so we are lucky."
