Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most phlegmatic of them all?
We're talking maestro five eighths Daniel Carter here and the ice-cool batting from Kane Williamson. Neither appears to be fazed by much at all as they have dispensed their sporting talents around the globe.
Carter concluded his
112 All Black test career with a World Cup triumph and several of the more expressive moments in his career while Williamson on the back of a brilliant century followed by a half century at the Gabba, has moved in a career-high place in the top five global rankings.
As NZ rocked against a pace-bowling barrage from Australia, Williamson peeled off his 11th test century and hardly looked to raise a bead in the sweltering temperatures at the Gabba. Williamson is just 25 and edging towards a test average of 50.
He made 131 batting at number six on debut at Ahmedabad and five years later has made tons against eight test playing nations.
In Brisbane, he clipped, cut, drove and pulled his way to his century from 129 deliveries with all the poise of a matador in an ice-jacket. His shot selection matched his light, crisp footwork as he countered all the Aussies could throw at him.
