indiaregulator Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Who is the better batsman? Both come in at similar positions in ODI's and Tests and both have had wonderful starts to their respective careers. Du Plessis: Tests 7 10 2 558 137 69.75 1258 44.35 2 2 73 3 4 0 ODIs 29 27 4 641 72 27.86 735 87.21 0 5 54 4 15 0 T20Is 7 7 1 192 65 32.00 142 135.21 0 2 21 3 0 0 Root: Tests 1 2 1 93 73 93.00 285 32.63 0 1 5 1 0 0 ODIs 8 7 3 326 79* 81.50 377 86.47 0 3 32 3 4 0 T20Is 2 - - - - - - - - - - - 3 0 Lol at the T20 stats for Root.
Pakistan Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Plessis based on his match saving innings in Australia.
GoldenSun Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Faf Du Plessis of course :). I need to see Joe Root do more to make a comparison. I do believe that his chance will arrive in the Ashes .
daryl1985 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Too early to compare. Root is a massive prospect for England, looks so assured.
Old guy Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Too early to compare. Root is a massive prospect for England' date=' looks so assured.[/quote'] isnt he a opener?
Pakistan Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 isnt he a opener? He is opener and he is English as well.
Old guy Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 He is opener and he is English as well. :hysterical: yeah i asked cos i think he will be suited well for opening or just play him in place of that useless bell number 6 is too low for classy batsman like him imo
indiaregulator Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 or just play him in place of that useless bell Greatest scorer of run a ball centuries in pressure free situations to have ever existed. Prior should be #6, Root #5, Bell #7. When the score is 320/5, he'll score 203* (201)
indiaregulator Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Basically, in other words. He's a grand FTB.
The Outsider Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Haven't watched too much of either but I would root for Root in my limited exposure because Faf strikes me as too much of a block and slog batsman along the lines of Misbah and Root seems to have a more well rounded game.
Raghav_12 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 He is opener and he is English as well. :haha::haha:
IKnowU Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I called for Root as soon as I saw his debut innings against India.
carnish Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 He is opener and he is English as well. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
shuraim Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 faf has all kind of shots,executing skil ,power and temperament.Root average will fall with time indeed,nothing extraordinary
