Forget about his scores for a moment. We all know his Test average of 50, centuries and double centuries all over the world etc. He is a champion batsman.
But just in terms of natural gifts - have there been many if any batsmen better than him? I'm constantly dumbfounded by some of the shots he plays. When MJ was ripping through SA a few weeks ago - AB seemed like he was batting in his backyard.
Awesome cricketer. I believe that as a teenager he had the option of several sports but chose cricket - we fans are very lucky that he did!
