Communication between wickets might be a work-on for the partnership of Kane Williamson and Will Young.
In the first test between the Blacks Caps and Australia, Williamson fell victim to one of the more baffling run-outs you’ll see.
Facing just his second delivery, Williamson dug the ball out and back past bowler Mitchell Starc to the fielder at mid-on. After initially calling “wait on”, Williamson felt they could scamper through for a run and called Young through.
Calamity followed.
Young was slow off the mark as he was ball-watching, turning his head just in time to see Williamson bolting straight at him as he hustled through for the run. Both batsmen then tried to change their line to run on the outside of the other, but collided. Starc had chased the ball off the pitch and had held his ground outside the usual running line.
