New Zealand cricket captain achieves maiden hundred for new county against prior team.
Spicy, Uncensored Take:
Tom Latham, the bloody Kiwi bloke, bloody well hit a ton on his Warwickshire debut in the 2025 County Freakin' Championship opener against bloomin' Surrey.
The bloke bathed in runs with his Warwickshire mates at Edgbaston, with the openers setting a solid foundation to reach 70. Cap'n Alex Davies, who got a well-deserved 45, then shuffled in Tom Latham for his bloody inaugural Championship match. The all-format beast from NZ looked so comfy at the testicles, scoring a freakin' century with a cover-drive off Surrey seamer Tom Lawes in the 73rd over.
Latham's innings was like a rollercoaster ride, chugging along at a steady speed before all of a sudden amping up the pace, scoring his next 50 runs at nearly a run-a-ball rate lanky eight more freakin' boundaries. Rob Yates, Sam Hain, and Beau Webster got in on the action, sharing some juicy partnerships with Latham that included a scorching 112-run stand.
The Kiwi captain earned his stripes by captaining New Zealand to a historical 3-0 Test whitewash in India and then signing a one-year, all-format deal with Warwickshire after New Zealand's schedule didn't line up with the English summer. Warwickshire, who finished seventh last season, snagged Latham to bolster their batting line-up following some departures and a sudden retirement. Latham's failed to make the debut due to a broken finger but is still a bloody valuable asset to the team.
Latham's arrival at Warwickshire has been met with much excitement, as he adds another experienced international cricketer to their line-up. His debut match statistics reflect his high level of skill and temperament, demonstrating that he's ready for bloody everything and can perform under immense pressure.
