Ian Chappell said that he'd be the best ever batsmen .JP gets into this team because he is Faf’s mate and once scored a century in a test in Australia in 2008.

Some games I’ve watched him even when he’s not batted or bowled that well it’s almost felt worth it him playing for how good he can be in the field.Ben Stokes shouldn't be a cricketer. Earlier, I think they had him down sprinting at 28kmph which, considering was over just 20 yards, is quite quick. I don't think he's particularly great at bowling or batting but his athleticism is incredible. Weird he chose cricket as his sport.
You don't read my posts do you. Did say they're in the same boat in the same thread (not sure if it was this one)I'm surprised you haven't called England the PSG of cricket given their tendacy of picking talented players from other countries.

Can we sign him to replace De Gea?That's the greatest catch I've ever seen.
IndeedSaffers batting is really crap.
His batting is good, and hopefully after a top score today he'll improve further, but I agree his bowling isn't the best and it's his fielding that sticks in the mind.Ben Stokes shouldn't be a cricketer.

Guys like 6"2,/6"3, built like a mini tank, fast as feck, has incredible reactions yet plays cricket. He could probably play a multitude of sports at a professional level.Some games I’ve watched him even when he’s not batted or bowled that well it’s almost felt worth it him playing for how good he can be in the field.

Will he be if he wins this for saffers?Also Amla is a weird ODI batsman. He's got all the great numbers but somehow I don't think he'll ever be counted as world's best.
Its probably cause hes associated as a "test batsman". Hes a really, really good ODI batsman.Also Amla is a weird ODI batsman. He's got all the great numbers but somehow I don't think he'll ever be counted as world's best.
Oh for sure, he’s a fierce competitor too surprises me he doesn’t play something where he can let it out moreGuys like 6"2,/6"3, built like a mini tank, fast as feck, has incredible reactions yet plays cricket. He could probably play a multitude of sports at a professional level.
Here it comes... he's a little bit thick, thats probably why. Crickets a safe sport for him.Oh for sure, he’s a fierce competitor too surprises me he doesn’t play something where he can let it out more
He can't take the game away from the opposition.Also Amla is a weird ODI batsman. He's got all the great numbers but somehow I don't think he'll ever be counted as world's best.
Cheers mate. That was very good, reminds me of myself in that game of rounders we had on the Year 8 trip to the Isle of Wight.Tweet

Just playing in the wrong ODI decadeIts probably cause hes associated as a "test batsman". Hes a really, really good ODI batsman.
I think the change in the pace of ODI cricket did for him a bit. At the start of the career he was very good, and then suddenly he became a player you never really minded scoring runs against you.Also Amla is a weird ODI batsman.

That's harsh. Cant remember the exact numbers but he averages around 50 with a strike of 90. I'd say hes surrounded by a bunch of average players. AB aside, the rest of their team hasnt impressed in ODIs.I think the change in the pace of ODI cricket did for him a bit.

Case in point, he has two t20 hundreds and they both came in losing causes. If Amla gets big runs in limited overs cricket someone else probably can get them quicker.
Wait..what?De Kock starting to penetrate.
