BJ Watling: Former cricketer on Kane Williamson's career, retirement from the international game
About this episode
BJ Watling discusses Kane Williamson's retirement from international cricket and reflects on their early careers together.
Kane Williamson has padded up for the last time. He announced his retirement from international cricket ahead of the second test against England at Lords, bringing his highly successful over 15 year career to a close. One of Williamson’s earliest teammates was BJ Watling, who played in the same game in which Williamson debuted for the Northern Districts. Watling told Piney his skill was apparent pretty early on and it wasn’t long until he was straight into the runs. “I’m not sure if it was his first or second season, but he scored about seven 50s in a row in one of our one-day comps.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
