The two best batsman at present, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers, both playing for South Africa and demolishing all the opposition bolwers, particularly in the last 2-3 years. One is purely classical batsman and the other a hard hitting, game changing batsman.
Who do you choose if someone asks you, "Hey mate, Who is better ? Amla or AB ?"
Well, without any doubt, it should be the toughest choice, for cricket lovers.
How about having some stats in the bag to differentiate both of them !!
Lets have a look on stats for both of them !

ReplyDeleteof crse u need better factors atleast in ODIS...how can u cmpare an opener with a middle order batsman (especially in ODIS) on the basis of stats ? stronger parameters must be looked into and not just mere stats..
