lilac Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 This guy just helped cricket TRP reach a new level!
MCGGG Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 He's a freak, the evidence is overwhelming, double ton a few weeks ago in SA and now this.
MCGGG Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'll say this about ABDV and believe me I aint putting him down. He relies on his eye a lot' date=' it is why I feel that when he does enter a rough period (every batsman does), it may last longer than many think. Great eye, but will be interesting to see how he is at the age of 34 where his eye is a fraction slower.[/quote'] An eye is all a batsmen has mate, when you doubt your eye it's time to start commentating.
brendan07 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 An eye is all a batsmen has mate' date=' when you doubt your eye it's time to start commentating.[/quote'] Yes, but the ones I rate the most have outstanding footwork. Whilst ABDV is a gun player, his footwork isn't actually outstanding, and neither is Steve Smith for that matter. It is why I probably rate Amla ahead of ABDV, personally at least.
coffee_rules Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Glad he ran himself out against India. Beast. Thanks Waleed was chosen over Abbott as well!. *cough*fixed*sneeze*
Crookbond Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Chetan Narula @chetannarula · 5h 5 hours ago Wondering what AB de Villiers will do at pint-sized Eden Park vs Pakistan next week. Ridiculously short boundaries for his hitting. #CWC15 Wonder what would ABDV do when the bats are not as good and there are no current fielding restrictions. :((
HippoSucks Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Wonder what would ABDV do when the bats are not as good and there are no current fielding restrictions. :(( And the pitches aren't so flat with short boundaries and the bowling attack includes Southee/Boult or Johnson/Starc.
maniac Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 When on Song ABDV and the other being Rohit Sharma make cricket boring like a EA cricket game on easy mode. Despite ABDV being one of the best of this generation,still a underacheiver bcoz the skill he has can make him the G.O.A.T
PBN Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 It was a treat to see him thrash everybody around. I think bowling straight at the stumps along with mixing the pace is the way to way when ABD is shuffling allround to play those hoics behind square
maniac Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I think he will smash fast bowlers all day long...might be tundlers or genuine quicks on his day he is a beast....but spin is the way to go against him...that is not your typical darters but a good spin bowler.
PBN Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 ^^ yeah they showed a stat where he got out to offies the most IIRC. Or could just be that he's trying to smash them and eventually getting out. But when someone is going all out, change of pace and onto the stumps is handy IMO.
Yoda-esque Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 When on Song ABDV and the other being Rohit Sharma make cricket boring like a EA cricket game on easy mode.

Vilander Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 This guy is a god of first innings whereas Kohli is a beast while chasing... But when both bat for RCB they become kittens :haha: lol
