Re: Just who is the best of batting’s new famous five? - mapoui - 11-19-2015
man I want to join in but the fact there are no west indians in the mix tears me apart, breaks my heart and depresses my rarse so much I doan feel like talking.
DeViliers is classy but I don't like him. he is saffy. I doan like the lot of them. I prefer the out and out racists like Pollock, Bland, Lindsay and so on. Hamla and dem too smart fuh me altogether. dem so fuh sketchim and so on.
Kane Williamson is clearly the best of the younger crop. Smith second almost tied with Root third..make some distance between the 3 for Warner wop may be Hayden 2 but not as good.
if they stop fartin around with Mooen, plunk him down at 5 or 6 and leave him there, we shud see a fine batsman in a year or 2.
Kohli ::confused:: next! lil Bravo ::confused:: who ::confused::

As an Englishman, I'm going to have to say that Joe Root is the one to watch out of all of them. From what we've seen of him up to now he looks class.
As a cricket fan, and throwing away where I'm from (for a minute) I'd still have to say Root. He does have all the characteristic to become a world great in my opinion, and even though the word 'great' gets used a bit to much sometimes especially these days, the lad is outstanding.

And that's one of the things I'm sure we all love about the game. We all have our own opinions and especially when talking about players such as these, and let's face it they've all got big futures ahead, it will be interesting to see just who does develop and fulfil their potential.
