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

    Kallis greater than Sobers? I would be damned! Sobers is the greatest player of the game! He is even above Bradman!

    Ricky Ponting met them 4 times and manufactured 157 runs at decrepit average of 39.1 and Tendulkar 3 games with 76 runs

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

    Even then I will still scratch my head before agreeing he's better. They are missing a very good point to use against ABD, strike rate. One simply doesn't pound 6000 runs at 90 in 1970s/80s and not boast such a point!

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

    That's more like it. 1 reason Viv is ahead of ABD is basically his world cup record. So if he pulls a superman in 2019 will you regard them as equals? (just filtering reasons and excuses)

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

    So in those 3 times he faced WI in the world cup he pounded 415 runs something that has not been replicated in any team. I'll let you look for another excuse Batting records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo oh yeah Ricky Ponting met them 4 times and manufactured...

    Viv Richards played 6 knock out games in the World Cup at an average of 75.75 and ABD played 3 at an average of 57.10

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

    The word crucial is subjective and not discrete. It's a way of disregarding someone's contribution by simply labeling it not "crucial". Anyways here is his World Cup record Batting records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

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

    I guess that's a way of admitting that ABD stats are unparalleled. Now it's all a matter of how would he have fared in the Richards days of grueling pitches. WHICH IS WHAT THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT FROM THE START BEFORE SOMEONE DERAILED IT!!!!

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

    He batted lower by choice? Say you are kidding. ABD was an opener. Failed as an opener and was chucked to 4/5 because South Africa had a solid number 3 who was their all time greatest run scorer in all formats Jacques Kallis. South Africa chooses to bat first because their bowling was good at...

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

    I will slowly rhetorically ask you again: Mike Hussey comes after Ponting. Ponting gets first chance to contribute 100% of the times than Hussey because Hussey bats lower. Hussey manages to contribue to total match scores way more than Ponting. The bloke still founds excuses for Ponting or in...

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

    Oh if you are complaining about not outs(even though that doesn't make any sense since ABD bats lower) here is a record without any. Tendulkar made 2278 World Cup runs in 44 innings That's = 51.77 runs per world cup games(removed not outs) ABD made 1207 World Cups runs in 22 innings That's...

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

    Self defeating argument, major point of the start is that it includes opposition batters. So in a SA vs Aus match, we won't count what ponting vs what Aus did but we will count what Ponting did compared to both Aus + SA. ABD plays along Amla the fasted to every thing batsman vice versa. Viv...

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

    Quite funny that you'd compare a number 5 to a number 3 about number of centuries. ABD gets the same and even higher average than kohli chasing since 2008 is because he remains not out on higher 50s instead of 100s because he comes in at 5 similar to what Dhoni does inside Asia. The only chances...

    Good statement, on a wrong place. Yes obviously they do matter but this about player X's match contribution not about he wins or not.

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

    OMG, you failed to pick this stat up. It doesn't matter how good or bad your batting line up is, your career runs/ the runs of every match you're in including opposition *100 is constant regardless of opposition or bowling situations. It means you score more than anyone in matches including...

    hey wait I got 2 infractions for "Kohli fans" and "Tendulkar worshipers" and didn't get one for "swallowing Ponting". Nationality on the mod isn't a hard one to guess.

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

    I thought I was was joining a forum that's past Tendulkar ODI smoke and mirrors. It seems most refuse to evolve past Tendulkar worshipping I guess. I'll let it slide. I see a bloke swallowing Ponting hard with paltry arguments that are meaningless. I play more therefore I will make more runs...
