AB de Villiers is the best batsman

AB de Villiers is the best batsman there has ever been. Better than Tendulkar and Lara. Better than Viv and Sobers. Better than Gavaskar. Better than the three Ws. Better, even, than Bradman.

Dean Elgar made his Test debut in Perth in 2012, but found the fiery Mitchell Johnson too hot to handle.

The South African top-order batsman made his debut in Perth in 2012, but found the fiery Mitchell Johnson too hot to handle. He was first caught behind and then trapped in front, making for a forgetful debut despite South Africa’s 309-run win. He left all that behind soon enough, scoring centuries against New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies in the 14 Tests he has played since. He has a healthy average of 37.65 and is in the process of finding a slot in a quality South African outfit.
