Sid Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I have never seen such consistency,this is/was a superhuman effort to continously produce big scores.He could have got a 50 even if he was blindfolded today.Even today,apart from him none of the Aus batsman(excluding the Johnson cameo) looked fluent apart from this guy.This guy is just outstanding. Champion :hatsoff:
FischerTal Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 playing across stumps in ashes against sir jimmy and broad in swinging conditions, hell be toast
bulbul Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 In Great form....looks like turning point in his career.
bulbul Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 playing across stumps in ashes against sir jimmy and broad in swinging conditions' date=' hell be toast[/quote'] He played there...every player steps up in their career after a big year or 2.
FischerTal Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 He played there...every player steps up in their career after a big year or 2. didn't do that great. he made the most of his home conditions but in swinging conditions his batting will never work
Sid Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 You have to see his batting against Pakis and Lankans as well to see how good he has become.He is at a rung above other batsmen at the moment.
kubrickian Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Same was said about Alistair Cook when he scored runs against India. What happened to him now ? Let him score runs for a few years before he is called champion or superhuman etc.
MCGGG Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 playing across stumps in ashes against sir jimmy and broad in swinging conditions' date=' hell be toast[/quote'] I disagree, only for the reason he gets so far across, a swinging ball will mostly hit him out side the line, this kid can bat, make no mistake about that.

BlueBee Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I disagree' date=' only for the reason he gets so far across, a swinging ball will mostly hit him out side the line, this kid can bat, make no mistake about that.[/quote'] We shall see

Let him score runs for a few years before he is called champion or superhuman etc. And your point being? I am not comparing him to any past legends ,just hailing a great performance over a stretch of 7-8 months.
MCGGG Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Scary thing is is he got his contract as a bowler lol, now he's Australias no3 bat, that's unheard of.

vijay50 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 971 runs in 10 innings against India across formats. What a shame, India couldnt figure out a plan to get this bugger out.

Sid Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 And dont forgot he was their best batsman against Pakis in UAE and against SA in Aus.Just a tremendous run of form.
