cricket with balls

There was a time that AB DeVilliers was just a young pop star trying to make his way in the world.

Those times have gone.

Now he is South Africa’s best batsman.

By some distance.

They say AB is good at everything, that isn’t right, but he is better at batting than Graeme, Hashim, Jacques and JP, which makes him the best batsman in his side at the moment.

If you hate him you are going to have to get used to seeing his perfect smile, cause he can bat.

Today he wasn’t tested, the kiwis were testing out there 4 bowlers and 2 keepers strategy, but he was still way better than anyone else in his team.

We notice that alot, sometimes the SA batting looks a little nothing, but then AB comes along and we forget all about the fact that two of their top 3 in ODI cricket look like they bat in quicksand.

So he must be good.

Just take a moment out to think of Jacques Kallis in quicksand.

I am still confused as to how to think about AB.

Should I hate him because he could be really good and South African?

Or like him because he could be great and smiles like an angel in a mentos ad?

It is very confusing.

I once decided to like JP Duminy, and then he went a bit shit.

At one stage I liked Pat Symocox, but he is mates with Dean Jones and Tony Greig, so that was a mistake.

I still love Paul Adams, but I fear I am the only one.

Imran Tahir is my current favourite legspinner of all the worlds, and he isn’t even close to getting a game.

And Andre Nel’s career went down hill from the time I mentioned that me and him would take over the world together.

So perhaps it is better for AB if I hate him.
