Rantzz Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Very under-rated and often goes unnoticed but he has come up clutch. Been with CSK for 10 years first in the shadows of Hussey, McCullum etc and then 2nd fiddle to Watson Often in the shadows of ABD. Everyone talks of AbD and IPL but Faf has quietly had more impact performances than ABD 2018 1st qualifier CSK was like 60/7 chasing 140 odd and he took them home now in the finals he is 38. I wonder how long he can go on. velu, Vijy, sorak and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorak Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Thanks for jogging my memory. Amazing impact player this Du Plessis. Just watched the Q1 2018 highlights. Lord has made a fearless 15(5) as well. Rantzz, Real McCoy, velu and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 His fate is to be second greatest behind some primary hero in all his battles. But he is a giant in his own right. This time is appears its Ruturaj lol. velu and nevada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevada Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 His fielding is also amazing. He has made a habit of taking over the boundary catches which he makes seem very routine. Also takes some running, diving catches. Fields like someone 10-12 years younger! Real McCoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipl is fun Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 may not show up big, but he fields longon/off all the time. So he runs across between overs Pretty fit for his age nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollingstoned Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) one of the few clutch saffers out there. he has been a better player for csk than them though it might be the dhoni effect.

ShoonyaSifar Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Except for last two years, he was a 'tuk tuk' batsman in IPL, struggled to cross SR of 130 in a full season before 2020. Even yesterday, till 9th over he was 29*(26). Only slightly better than 'Tuk Tuk' nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoonyaSifar Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Disgusting from CSA. Such small mindedness even when congratulating their own players. Faf and Tahir should ask CSA not to take any money from the BCCI (think the boards earn 20% commission on player salaries) nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Excellent player in limited overs but in tests, he hasn't done much. In India test tour of 2015, he had a string of single digit scores. I would rate Elgar and de kock higher than Faf in tests. Faf was excellent in LOIs though and SA's 2nd best batsman in last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigg Brother Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Disgusting really by CSA. The guy got MOM in final and you are posting about someone who wasn't even part of playing XI.
