AB de Villiers smashed 133 from 59 balls against Mumbai Indians on Sunday night. But instead of having me glued to the TV, his roles left me a little cold.
Yes, and played some amazing shots. Yes, and it gave the highest score in this IPL season. But for a man of genius, it was not exciting because it was very easy. You do not have to take my word for it. Here's what AB thinks about his roles:
He said, "I certainly played better roles, and this is the same as any other roles," De Villiers IPLT20.com. "I would not say this is the best I have played, I played much better than before but things went my way today."
Is the best estimate of sporting genius when it really be challenged, not when stacked the odds in their favor. And when you have two athletes the highest degree of talent or opposition teams to each other, they have a tendency to push each other to great heights even. I think of Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal vs Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics in the 1980s.
Now imagine if passed ATP tour base that allowed Federer to have only one serve when play Nadal. And it can also be hurt any more than four forehands each pool. Rafa when we commend destroyed Federer?
You do not have to answer this question.
However, this situation is that cricket finds itself in the form of T20. Bowlers allowed just one guard and the more so because the guards difficult to score them. The idea is to make it easy for tennis to score runs to score runs is the goal of the game - is not a battle between bat and ball.
De Villiers is not immodest or arrogant when he said that on Sunday, the roles are not his best. He understands the way the stadium was tempted. Dispatch side fielders can not be a situation where they want. Bowlers can not bowl shipments they want. But hitter can do whatever he wants. He said he could stand outside the leg, he transferred outside off. He can play right hand and left hand.
It's one thing to Lasith Malinga asking residents pot in death. Another thing to ask him to do it, and prevent it from field position accordingly. Good tennis as AB de Villiers must find gaps more often. It is understood this AB. He knows his best roles are those paid when his bowlers to find something extra. When all his skills and college test. This kind of beating is more like shooting fish in a barrel. The only way to keep things interesting is I have to try Villiers footage crazy. Otherwise, I imagine, it will get boring.
The real challenge is in the IPL for bowlers and yet, ironically, rarely celebrated their achievements as much as batmen.
Now fans seem to like it and that's fine. The market will get what the market wants. But for those who are looking to tennis excellence, who want to be the best, you want to be paid the same, well, this is not much of the test, no matter what the commentators on television might say. This is what leaves me cold.
