AB de Villiers now the one and only "AB"

[Jono]

Deal with it Burgey, I've said Allan Border has to move aside for a while now but this confirms it. Whenever one hears "AB" it will refer to de Villiers and de Villiers only.

And while we're at it, the Allan Border medal is now known as the AB de Villiers medal.

The old AB didn't break CW

Hot damn, I just came back home and saw the massacre! What a man, AB!! Also goes to show Windies should have kept the copyright on the pink jersey there. Pink = Massive.

 

[Spikey]

I've only ever known Alan Border as a selector and media pundit and he comes across as a weak, talentless, boring old man, about as inspiring as an Indian fast bowler. These are not the traits I expect in an AB. He can **** right off and get a new acronym

 

[Jono]

Border isn't all bad in that while commentating he called Ponting out for being a dickhead captain and bowling Cam White and Mike Hussey instead of trying to win a test match in 2008. But AB de Villiers wouldn't have just called Ponting out, he'd have invaded that test match and won the game himself.

But AB de Villiers wouldn't have just called Ponting out, he'd have invaded that test match and won the game himself.

Unnecessary qualification.

 

[Furball]

Steady on, it was only the West Indies he was facing. Joke outfit.

 

[Spikey]

In that he would have gone out and bop Michael Hussey for six repeatedly. Border would have just ****ing settled for the drawn

 

[Jono]

furball go ruin the party elsewhere

 

[Gob]

Pootang didn't rate AB very highly back in 06 iirc.

 

[Jono]

dogwalker knows what's going on. I was testing everyone and he spotted it, no need to say "de Villiers" anymore.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

He actually accelerated throughout that innings. If had got the 150 that record would have stood until the end of time.

 

[Cabinet96]

Still can't quote, AB has genuinely broken CW, but Furball he was the only one who dealt with Johnson in 2013/14. AB doesn't give a **** who the bowlers are, they're all going out the park.

 

[Swingpanzee]

yeah AB has destroyed CW and we should all bow down to his glory. The future has become the present.

 

[Spikey]

In this typical Allan Border performance, he faced one more delivery than AB did today, scored 132 less runs than AB did, and got out when his team needed him to stay, helping lose the match for Australia

 

[superkingdave]

Fits snugly between 'AA' Ajit Agarkar and 'AC' Slater.

 

[Ikki]

Think we need to start removing Bang, Zim and WI from the records

 

[OverratedSanity]

AB can do an AB and smash 149(44). AB can also do a Border when it's required and score 33(222) as he did at Adelaide.

 

[Bleed_Blue]

He got a quick hundred against a very poor West Indies legs not get too carried away here.
