Hey all, back with another longer-read, this time looking back on Chris Martin's weird, complex Test legacy:
>"Martin has the 15th-most Test caps for New Zealand and is one of only 177 cricketers to play at least 70 Tests, plus the 10th-most first-class wickets by a New Zealand bowler, and the 6th-most Test wickets for New Zealand. Yet, he still managed to fly under the radar, arguably even in New Zealand. For a long time, and perhaps even still, Martin was better known for what he couldn’t do with the bat than the many things that he could do with the ball.
>Underrated and under-discussed no more, I think it’s high time we re-evaluate Chris Martin’s Test legacy, not merely as the punchline of a batter that he is often remembered as, but also as the highly skilled 200+ Test wicket taker who led New Zealand’s attack for over a decade."
Hope you enjoy!
