Turning_track Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 ABD is a top performer, one of the best batsman of our generation. Leave aside the comparison with other batters, just marvel at his immense talent. From 227/7 to 382 a.o, wonderful performance along with the tail. Hope ABD continues to entertain us in tests for a few more years & put all these rumours of his retirement from longer format to rest. Link to comment
rageaddict Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Kohli can score as many tons as possible but he cannot replicate the excitement that AB brings to the game with his strokes. There's something very unique about AB and his style of play. nevada 1 Link to comment

addicted4444 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 This pitch isn’t as easy as people have been claiming. Other than ABD everyone else has struggled. Take away AB’s innings, and SA has a very low score, but further, they have a terrible run rate. Neither did Australia have the kind of run rate you would expect to see on a flat track. Finally, the Aussies have not scored at all. Smith, #1 player got out as I was typing, having scored all of 36 runs for 2 outs on this supposed flat track. And Ngidi is making Khawaja look like a fool on every delivery for like 3 straight overs. This pitch has no devils but is not easy to at on. Good line and length with some variation and patience will make the bowlers look really good. Australia’s poor performance showed their lack of variation in bowling and their lack of application when they weren’t on top. Link to comment

Clarke Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Reminded me of Tendulkar at his peak. While everyone else was struggling in the first test, he was rarely beaten .. just seems to have so much time while batting, as if he's quicksilver with bat in hand. addicted4444 and Laaloo 2 Link to comment

Good to see you. Hope all is well. Link to comment
Vk1 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 ABD has a unique bat swing. It's not very high backlight like Lara or Yuvi but it's just that he completes the bat swing beautifully after meeting the ball. Pure aesthetic. Jimmy Cliff and philcric 2 Link to comment

chewy Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 There was no seam or swing, only threat was Starc’s reverse swing with old ball and Lyon Link to comment
addicted4444 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 This was a flat track yet Australia couldn’t score 250 in eithe innings. Okay. Link to comment
