    By the way Lance Klusner has more centuries than Dhoni outside his continent batting at 9.

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    Kohli fans and their persistence in "but Kohli is a chaser". So 1 skill makes him better? WTF? Kohli averages 41 batting first in the 21st century. Let that sink in your head! The man is averaging 64 when chasing(number 1), you know who followers that at number 2? It's non other than ABD at 56...

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    India considered Sehwag a ODI legend as well with a 35 odd average. Exceptionals only were above 40 then. Viv reached 40s in his dying years! He was mid 50s 90% of his career coming from 62.

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    Sure, a world class batsman who literally couldn't play shot ball at all. Not a bad option I must say but like most subcontinent players he literally did nothing outside that continent. Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Sunil Gavaskar and Inzimam Ul-haq are the only players I'd point out as good even...

    Dhoni? Well it's hard to convince anyone that you're a GOAT when you literally have 0 100s outside the subcontinent...

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    You missed the sarcasm a bit. Allan betters all those bowlers. I can only think of McGrath, Waqar and Joel Garner as the only ones with a better record. The problem is the guy there says a declaration to a great player must be a world cup. I listed him a bunch sub par players who were part of a...

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    Let me guess, you would put Bevan or Tendulkar ahead of them or Zaheer Abbas or you are a fence sitter on this one?

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    Get past Kohli? You real? Kohli is non existent when you count ABD record since his(kohli's) debut 2008. Complete record: Kohli: innings 171 not outs 25 runs 7755 HS 183 avg 53.11 balls faced 8544 strike rate 90.76 100s 27 50s 39 ABD: innings 207 not outs 38 runs 9175 HS...

    Any credible reasoning to 120? That seems a bit too wild in the 50 overs format.

    What does AB De Villiers need achieve to surpass Viv Richards as the ODI's greatest

    So Sir Viv comes at: innings 167 not outs 24 runs 6721 HS 189* avg 47.00 balls faced 7451 strike rate 90.20 100s 11 50s 45 He played those 167 innings over 10 years. Missed a few matches meaning it was never consistent to get an ODI series those days. Never wore helmet, never...
