Is SKY the new ABdV?

[harsh.ag]

Why yes, yes he is

 

[Prince EWS]

SKY is the real AB.

Fuller will be in here soon to tell you Phillips is better or something

Chris Harris IMO.

He's at least as good tbf

 

[slippy888]

He not going to go close to AB records considering he not given enough play time at international level.

 

[Coronis]

Whats a SKY

 

[ashley bach]

Maybe only at the moment, but AB did it forever. Could get about another 4 really good years in for the lucky Indian supporters.

Is the contention here that de Villiers was only good at T20s?

I know I've argued here that ABdV's Test and ODI record flatters him a bit but that's a bit harsh.

AB is an underrared test bat tbh. 8k runs @50 is ATG stuff yet he rarely is mentioned among test ATG's

 

[Everton Seymour]

Nope but he doesn't have to be , he is without doubt the best T20 batsman in the world right now .

 

[slippy888]

He should be knighted in India if they win the world cup

He was a down hillskier of the highest order

You can't score almost 9K @ 50 by only soft runs. Just for memory in that Mitchel Johnson God Mode series he was the only one who looked comfortable facing him, there were other great knocks also I can recall.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

ABD was a better test bat than Kallis.

If you play 100 odd tests and average 50+ you're elite ..Like less than one percent of batsmen have done that .

 

[Arachnodouche]

Indian fans consistently *****ing strong Indic names. Sun Prince Suryakumar becomes SKY, Lord Of This World Bhuvneshwar becomes ****ing Bhuvi

 

[Fuller Pilch]

All great players, but I'd go:
Kallis 1, G Smith 2, ABD 3, Amla 4

 

[Socerer 01]

AB is an ATG in ODIs too

Record flatters him a bit with his peak coming in 2011-15 when powerplay rules were weird but he was still the only one being that good consistently
