That's simply not true CB. He made 190 against the Aussies in Hobart when he was still wearing the gloves. He's the fastest player in test cricket history to ever score 10 thousand runs. Also holds the record for the highest partnership in test cricket history (624) in which he made 287\. That was also while he was still wearing the gloves.

I didn't think Sangakara kept any more or hasn't for a while…

Loved Burnes innings can see what the selectors see in him he should bat at 3

All i know is Watson has to go and can't be anywhere near England for the Ashes mid year.

Watson is our greatest all rounder since Keith Miller

Sangakkara was ordinary with the bat before giving up the gloves.

Very, very untrue. He'd walk in to any team, keeping or not. Mahela wouldn't be far behind either.

OK, it was an exaggeration my part, but he's gone to a whole new level when he gave up keeping. That was my point. Imagine if he never had to worry about keeping. He would have gone past Tendulkar.

Same could probably be said of AB de Villiers.

Blimey. Record chase and with 4 balls to spare:

De Villiers just scored 149 off 44 balls. South Africa leaving the West Indies a chase of 440\. Amazing batting.

The best cricketer walking the planet atm

As for the most overrated cricketer walking the planet atm, i think Glenn Maxwell has that covered by a country mile.

That's for sure , and IMO warners Turing out to be a real Tool with his on field verbals , he'd have more fans if he'd keep his mouth shut I reckon .

Can't help but think the whole Australian team really pushes the boundaries to the limit unfortunately. There seems to be an incident or ten every series against different teams (India, England, South Africa). I personally don't think it's a good look or representation of Australia as a nation when our national team is continually involved in scuffles and chilidish behaviour.

There's a difference between a competitive nature and poor sportsmanship and i think more often than not were percieved as poor sportsman by the cricketing world.

Agree with GNR on both counts. Glen Maxwell is the most overated sportsman in Australia and AB is an absolute freak..

It was a phenomenal thing to watch. I watched the first 8 balls of his innings and he was already on 24 or 28\. I thought 'this won't last long'. I suppose it didn't as he only lasted another 36 balls…

The stillness of his head at point of contact is something for every young cricketer to behold. Regardless of the shot being a text book cover drive or a pre meditated ramp over short fine leg, one thing remains; his head is dead still.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It was a pretty remarkable scorecard. Reminiscent of a 12th man tape!

 

[happy_tiger]

I switched over at one stage and the Windies still needed 203 off 67 balls

Chasing a score like that must be so disheartening

Hopefully someone will load the entire innings on u tube

Yeah the bowling was woeful , heaps of full tosses and half volleys .
Never knew that Cane Toad Watson still holds the record for the fastest 150 in 88 balls in the 50 over format !
