A biography for Kane Williamsonhasn’t been written yet.
“Obviously batting like in a Test match in T20 cricket's not really going to work. But you still want to stick to the strengths that are important to your game - for some guys it's power, for some guys it's touch and it's gaps.”
“There is no space for racism or discrimination in sport or society.”
“It's always nice to get a score.”
“I always enjoyed my cricket. And I always aspired to be better.”
“I've always been a believer that addressing what's in front of you is a pretty good place to start in terms of preparation, and as you get further down the line you start changing that focus.”
“We know in cricket that every day is different. Just trying to adapt as a unit as best you can is definitely the most important thing.”
“I certainly love playing in all the formats.”
“I like to use my feet and I believe footwork is a part of my game. So I guess that is something I tried to improve from time to time. From a young age, I have had that drawn into me - using your feet to spin when you can.”
“Being a professional provides a challenging environment at times, with a lot of distractions.”
“I do have a few surfboards, but my passion outweighs my ability by some way.”
“It's always a challenge to bat in Asia.”
“Our whole family was into sport. The girls were right into their volleyball. Logan and I played a variety of sport, and that was our childhood really.”
“In the professional sporting world there are a number of distractions that can take you away from some of those smaller things that are really important and keep you grounded.”
“The ball in the sock, dad giving throwdowns, anything I was doing then I was putting a lot of time into it - basketball, rugby, volleyball, soccer. It wasn't just cricket. I'd tried doing everything for as long as I could but cricket started to take over.”
“In sport, when you have tournaments and finals, these are set up in a way to provide excitement and opportunity in a one-off game. It never really tells the whole picture.”
“Don't get me wrong, I would like a lot more runs, but at the same time you don't want that to get in the road of what you're trying to achieve, which is your gameplan facing each ball as best you can and knowing that if you do put your trust in that, that's when the runs come.”
“For us, it's important we play to the best of our ability as much as we can. This game that we play is fickle and doesn't always happen like that and winning Test matches are very tough.”
“You accept that when you turn up to the ground you want to play your best cricket, but if the other team plays better then you tend to come second.”
“Yeah, it is a constant challenge in the international calendar where there is so much cricket. Then you throw in the IPL and some other T20 competitions and you don't have too many days off.”
“Even prior to captaincy I was fortunate to somehow be in the leadership role.”
