yeeeeeeesEat it, AB. Over-rated ****.

Well we know he is better than Chuck Norris...Calling AB overrated at anything is blasphemy.
Ponting, definitely. Had an infamous run of outs against Pakistan turn of the century then followed it up with big scores before having an infamous run of outs in India before destroying the world for years.Something I was just wondering. Have the likes of Lara, Chanderpaul, Younis, Sanga, Ponting, Dravid, Tendulkar & Kallis ever had 3 ducks in a row?
Well he has to prove he can do it. No point being a flat track bully with bat in hand or only able to bowl well when it swinging miles. All players have to adapt, the best ones do it. People are talking him up as a great player so he has to prove it in all conditions. Nothing wrong with saying that is there. Sorry if it peeves you but it is a fact.I really hate when people say this... I know you need to perform in all conditions but that does not mean you need take 5 wicket innings in Asia. I can't see him not getting some swing considering how much he is getting here and he bowls full enough, and I would love to see some of the Asian bowlers deal with him on a flat Asian wicket!. As long as he doesn`t get absolutely hammered (which I doubt) he will have done his job. Sorry pet peeve...
Wasn't great first up. Might have a niggle. May just bowl a long spell after lunch though.Is Broad injured?
I can't see why the number one test bowler in the world has bowled less than any of Anderson, Woakes, Stokes, and Moeen.
Not many players have played over a hundred tests and average more than 50. I think his record is fine, just had a poor series by his high standards.AB's record for a man of his talent is definitely not good enough
To be fair, the two are not mutually exclusive. Tendulkar is pure class, but still overrated by those who rate him over The Don.AB isn't overrated, he is class.
an Average of 51 with 21 100's is pretty good. You expect him to be averaging 60?AB's record for a man of his talent is definitely not good enough
"Just awoke in Boston and SO delighted to see ABD with another duck. Not that I don't like ABD -- I do. But a few years ago he briefly surpassed Walcott's record of lowest percentage of ducks in a career. Now that threat to the great Sir Clyde is gone even if ABD plays till he's 70 years old! But will someone PLEASE do something about Angelo Matthews?"
