Some athletes spend hours fine-honing their celebrations in front of the mirror, from the dab to the bolt to the leap and spread, the way you win can define a career. But that바카라™s not Kane Williamson바카라™s style.Â
When he hit a match-winning six to snatch a thriller against Australia in the ICC Men바카라™s Cricket World Cup group stages four years ago, he allowed himself a slightly embarrassed fist bump, while around at him Eden Gardens were collectively losing their heads.
And then he looked a little guilty and remembered he had to shake everyone바카라™s hand because Williamson is a good bloke first and a sportsman second.
The 28-year old isn바카라™t one for fighting talk or hype, whatever career Kane Williamson chooses when he finally calls time on cricket, it바카라™s safe to say he바카라™d be a very bad boxing promoter.  That바카라™s why you바카라™ll often find laidback - yes, surfing is his favourite hobby - and understated preceding his name in a quick search of the internet.
As his first school coach Josh Syms recalls: 바카라śHe had a thirst to be phenomenal but not at anyone else바카라™s expense.바카라ť
But if the Cricket World Cup was awarded for self-deprecating one-liners then they바카라™d be etching New Zealand on the trophy already, thanks to the deadpan humour of their skipper.
Asked why Australia had beaten his side at Lord바카라™s a few weeks ago, he replied: 바카라śThat바카라™s a pretty broad question - could take a while.바카라ť
When an Indian journalist cheekily inquired whether he바카라™d pick MS Dhoni, he flashed back: 바카라śHas he changed nationalities?바카라ť
And when some attempted to cast his side as underdogs, ahead of their final with Eoin Morgan바카라™s world No.1 England, he responded: 바카라śAnybody can beat anybody, regardless of breed of dog.바카라ť
Williamson바카라™s quick - and not just between the wickets or when flying through the field.
Kane Wiliamson made his first-class debut at 16 and had scored fifty centuries before he left school, where, obviously, he was first name on the teamsheet for head boy.
He captained his country at age-group level, including at the under-19 World Cup, and made his test debut at 20, obviously scoring a century.
In this World Cup, Williamson has made 30 per cent of New Zealand바카라™s runs with the bat, timing and precision the hallmarks of his game, his wicket established as the most prized by any opponent.
Along with coach Gary Stead he has tweaked the formula that former captain Brendon McCullum so brilliantly pioneered. They don바카라™t search for perfection - a low-scoring one run victory means just as much as a ten-wicket triumph in a blur of boundaries.
Maybe it's because Williamson's so nice, crushing teams into the ground just doesn't seem right, like the punch Ali never gave Foreman.
Five of the team that took part in the last final played in the semi-final success over India but make no mistake, this is a team moulded in Williamson바카라™s image.
His journey from the beachside city of Tauranga, a two-and-a-half-hour drive south-east of Auckland, is that perfect mix of nature and nurture, his mother recalls his sporting prowess while still in nappies.
Dad Brett was a well-known club cricketer, mum Sandra played representative basketball and elder sisters Anna, Sophie and Kylie all represented their region in volleyball.
So when Kane and twin Logan arrived, a sporty future was assured, even more so when they started at the local primary school with its 300 children and nine teams.
With a permanent playmate in his sibling, a supportive family at his back and the great outdoors as his playground, Williamson바카라™s ascent was almost preordained.Â
It seems the big-stage at Lord바카라™s was half a world away and yet just around the corner.Â
