With our luck, ABD will get selected for our Test series in SA and score a triple century.

ABDV

fecker ABDV, skips out on England tour, and decides to comeback against India  

 

anyways its good he plays, you want to play the best, and win against the best, hope Steyn plays too

 

England series win v SA seemed hollow without SA's two best players...ABDV and Steyn

Anyways it was at home for Eng, we literally made minnows of SA at home.

ABDV skipped test series against good bowling attacks on difficult tracks (NZ and England) to preserve his stock and batting average. He's happy to return against a perceived inferior attack in Team India. I hope Indian bowlers give him a good hiding.....I've lost all respect for this guy. No wonder South Africa has a habit of repeatedly choking...when this guy is your 'best player'. Im surprised that a lot current and ex players putting him in their all time test XIs...give me a break. 

[Gollum]

We are doomed. Won't be surprised if his buddy Kohli coerced him to come back, they behave like besties on SM these days. Aa bail, mujhe maar !!!

[nevada]

Sensible decision. Hope he has a productive couple of years(except when playing against us ) before bowing out. 

[SK_IH]

i remember how kp retuirned for eng against us in 2012 and played that seminal innings at wankhede. abd will be ready to do the same 

[Jimmy Cliff]

Good stuff. Hope he makes 10K runs in Tests.

 he didnt miss any tests due to the texts

he missed the last test of 2012 tour and was left of wt20

I thought at last we had a chance to beat SA away but this changes whole thing.

ABDV is such a chicken. He had all the tools to be an ATG batsman but now he picks and chooses opponents based on bowling strengths and venues. Also he is a choke artiste. Better the likes of Kohli don't spend much time with this coward, hope our batters have better role models to look up to eg Smith.

That is ridiculous thing to say. He was overworked and overtaxed because of his all round greatness.SA abused him by making him wicket keeper.They also made him fill all the other important roles. He was their closer in ODIS.

As evidenced by so many ODI tournaments he closed out for the South Africans.
