Kane Williamson was a hero on the fifth day of New Zealand's test against South Africa, and not just because he recorded a century and salvaged a draw after entering the afternoon facing down an enormous deficit. Early on he took a ball directly to the groin, a delivery that split his cup—or as per the cricket term, his "box." So stick with this video to the end to hear the commentators assuring us "it's okay when the box cracks," and audibly cringing at the idea there might have been "pinching." [SKY Sport]
