Williams for me. He doesn't play and miss half as much outside his off stump as Craig does, and to me he's better through the leg side. But that's not taking anything away from Ervine, he's a fantastic batter and very exciting middle order batter for the future!

Is this Craig Ervine v Sean Ervine or Craig v Williams? Either way the answer is Craig.

Sean Ervine is smarter and more confident than Craig. Apart from Sean's inside out shot, I don't think Ive seen him display anything remotely close to Craig's class.

As for the accidental Craig-Williams comparison which crept in uninvited, Williams can only be compared to Vusi and an on song Matsi. He's a hockey player for crying out loud. Not even laxman & azharrudin have those wrists.

You can almost swear if you were to ask Waller who he looks up to he'd say Williams. Backfoot plqy, wristy but a 3rd hand version.

Craig vs Williams- Always Craig because of attitutde and the fact that he has overcome his inability to play spin.

Craig vs Brother Sean - Craig because of same reasons above
