Jimmy Neesham roasts Kane Williamson with caption after skipper's magnum opus Test innings

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson employed an entertaining exhibition of stroke-play as he took off from where he left at Day 1 against West Indies. The cricketer stockpiled a majestic 251 in an innings littered with elegant drives and courageous pulls on a ‘monstrous green’ top of Hamilton’s Seddon Park. Williamson also posted his magnum opus Test performance in the process, bettering his previous-best score of 242* against Sri Lanka six New Zealand summers ago.
