Made the point yesterday. Watched him and Nicholls together. Nicholls was lucky - dropped a couple of times, caught off a no ball - and always looked a bit vulnerable. Williamson just never looks like he'll make a mistake. And even when they do occasionally find the edge, it goes straight into the ground with those soft hands.
I watched some of the first session last night and he had figures of 7-5-2-2 at one point. He was moving the ball both ways seemingly at will (probably some 'natural variation' in there too tbf). He's not going to keep up these figures, but his start is no fluke.
Four 5fers in 6 tests, batting average of 50 (quite a few not outs, but hey) and a bowling average of 13.
Sidney Barnes-esque. For the stattos, no bowler whose career started after WW1 has ever managed to take more than 100 wickets with an average under 20. Philander had a similar start to his career but had drifted over 20 by the time he got to 100. Jamieson probably also won't manage it, but he could come close.
They were talking about Warner being affected by his injury still. If that's the case, why was he playing? Very odd. Terrible shot to get out, anyhow, and just after playing an even worse shot and missing.
