Has AB De Villiers come of age? Has he taken that next step to be able to fill the shoes of Ponting and Tendulkar? I'm not saying he'll make a 100 tons in his career but as far as matching the quality of the aboves strokemaking and abilities I trust I'm not getting ahead of myself when I say he's par for the course.

Dominant and relaxed at the crease, there's memories of Viv Richards as he shows no respect for the bowlers and the body language is of one that  can only be dismissed by his own indescretions and not by the ability of a bowler. I kinda think that captaincy has propelled him to a new level.

I can't claim to know cricket very well, but I am impressed by him.

I was amazed yesterday at some of Abs shots. He moved to the off side and pulled shots over to leg of Malinga twice in an over. Remarkable shots.
