Amla or De Villiers?

[Jono]

They're both so ****ing good at test cricket its hard to split them but right now I'd take AB.

Regardless of the mocking of ODI cricket on here, how ****ing epic are their ODI records as well.

What a couple of freaks. AB is probably ATG ODI XI now.

Agreed, with all that bar the last line, for either to be ATG, they have to do it in the knock out stages of a ICC competition and have either of them ever done that?

While we are discussing singing, Sanjay Manjrekar is an exceptional singer too. There are some videos on youtube I believe (all Bollywood songs).

I'm almost certain this isn't all true. Badminton one is from memory, and possibly tennis. But I don't believe all of the others are true - he certainly wasn't captain of the baby boks.

That said, he certainly was a sports talent in general.

I don't know. It was posted by Sourav Ganguly on fb.

The thing which edges it to AB for me is his wicket keeping can allow some flexibility for squad selection or if the first choice keeper got injured.

Thought long and hard about this, but feel AB edges Amla marginally. Would have been the other way around a couple of years ago.

Why split hairs? They're both absolute guns!

 

[straw man]

can't definitely say who's the better batsman at this stage but AB de Villiers

1. shortlisted for Jr national hockey squad,
2. shortlisted for Jr national football squad,
3. was Captain of South Africa Jr rugby,
4. holds six south africa school swimming records,
5. has fastest 100 mtr time in South Africa junior athletics,
6. was a member of South Africa Jr Davis Cup tennis team,
7. was National Badminton U-19 champion.

..so it's safe to say that there's only one thing where Amla can compete with AB

****, that's nearly as good as Kim Jong Un
