AB de Villiers now the one and only "AB"

[Antihippy]

I mean if you want to compare records against the west indies I bet AB de villier has a waaaaay better record against them compared to allan border.

In fact in both ODIs and Tests AB de villiers averages 40 and 45 more respectively than Allan border.

It's official. He's AB.[/IMG]

[Spikey]

Piss that reddit crap or whatever outta ABs thread

 

[dogwalker]

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

Desperate.

If not reddit, How about Pakpassion?

AB batting like Rohit Sharma

we are so lucky to have witnessed the likes of AB and Rohit

Salute to AB the legend. Well deserved. Only batsman I have seen close to him in pure talent is Shoaib Malik

I have never seen anythin like AB

AB's record might get broken soon, and that's why I rate Lala's * fastest century much higher than either AB or Corey's

Afridi can dismiss AB better than Narine and other bowlers and i am not kidding. ABD and Dilshan struggle against Afridi bowling

Note the widespread use of "AB" to refer to AB.

*Lala= Afridi

I'll probably do ICF next

[Swingpanzee]

made me lol.

Also can't really respect AB's knock, it has destroyed the sanctity of the sacred format #bleedbluethoughtslol

then again this is a new era and i am but a plebeian in this harsh grim world.

In this typical Allan Border performance,

Noted ATG all-rounder Ricky Hadlee with 0 from 10 balls there.

Batting fast =/= batting good. Overrated.

Batting fast =/= batting good. Overrated.

AB can bat fast when needed. He can also bat slow when needed.

Border could bat slow.

2+2

You'll probably find that batting fast is a sought-after skill in ODI cricket.

And the old AB only had to face a really weak era of WI quicks. Amrose, Garner, Walsh and that overrated hack Marshall. Pfft.

 

[NUFAN]

Jono moves into the top 10Jono's that I know after this thread.

 

[Red]

FTR - as much as I love DeVilliers, the real AB would've averaged approx 80 in the modern era.

 

[dogwalker]

Incorrect. The real AB averages 52 in both Tests and ODIs.

 

[NUFAN]

Sure you're not getting strike rate and average mixed up?Because ARB might have struck at 80 against the windies attack.

 

[Cabinet96]

People are actually using this performance against AB like he's Sangakkara. LOL, he's definitely made it.

 

[dogwalker]

He batted too fast, you see.

 

[Prince EWS]

Shoaib Malik

Bashed a team down in the doldrums too hard. Big no no. Hundreds against Australia and respectable 50s against Bangladesh are how you become truly respected.
