Not Terrible
What two guys at the crease together are the best for each time? Just saw a tweet that McCullum called Williamson/Taylor the best 3/4 punch in the world, and it got me thinking of what other quality pairings we get right now.
Amla + AB and Rahim + Shakib are two international ones that come to mind.
