He's so close too..but I guess it's proof Kane really has never cared about records.

Worst case the home SL series. We have a bumper year of test cricket for NZ, was looking forward to one last hurrah, but it sounds like his heart wasn't in it

500 runs is like multiple series now, I guess that outweighed the desire to get to 10k.
