I mean he hardly ever fails these days.(104 today against SL)
To me he is clearly the world’s best all-rounder at the moment.
Take him out…and the English team stand exposed for what they are…MEDIOCRE.
He's like what klusener was in the 99' world cup. Only way more consistent.
It's a purple patch. It will die out. In fact it should have ended in that match if it wasn't for the stupid Lankans dropping him twice.
^
the purple patch has lasted more than a year now....
the only match he dint play (against india in the natwest) england lost like it was bangladesh.... :p
he hits big scores....
he hits them fast....
3-4 sixes r a must in the innings....
he bowls good....
keeps a good economy....
takes 2-3 wickets....
and whats worse he does it in both versions of the game....
i'm already starting to hate him....
every dog has his day...
first it was klusner ('99)...then came kallis ('01-'03)...and now it is filnty and malik for this year....
The guy is unfreakin believable
Let's hope Razzaq plays like him 2day
During career of most of great players comes this period atleast once when simply look super human. Lara had few times, Sachin had it for few times, Kallis had it recently and now it is Flintoff times.
Good news for others team..It usually ends in 1-2 yeas. :D
