Hashim Amla - The new wall?

[Cricketman]

Chanders is probably only close to Dravid in terms of strike rate and consistency. Technically, he is VERY different and they both have contrasting approaches to their game. Quality batsman though.

Amla's real test will be inn the second innings in the test match in Kolkatta. Lets see if he has the mental strength to save the test for South Africa

Didn't quite save but came pretty close.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Technically he did save the test, it was his teammates that lost it/got beaten

What did Amla end up averaging this series? 400 odd?

490 lol. Great series for him.

Displaced Dravid to grab number two position in all time list by averaging 490 I think. Dravid averaged 432 odd against Zims in some series.

He is definitely the new wall. Dravid's time is past.

Hamla has gone into a great series, the best batsmen in the series, heartbreaking that he didn't have a partner to stay and try to save the match for South Africa. Overall, great job and he is going to be one of the best batsmen for years to come in South Africa in all forms of cricket.

LOL dont be a TMZ, he said he was disappointed too.

 

[pcfan123]

Be a TMZ? Im not familiar with teenage sayings. I was just quoting what it says on cricinfo cause I thought it was funny.

 

[SaiSrini]

He is the new Wall for sure!

 

[sami ullah khan]

One of the greatest and grittiest innings of all time. It was a great show temperament, solid technique, determination and physical fitness. One of the very best innings I have seen for a while. Amla will rival Dravid in years to come in terms of stats at least.

 

[TumTum]

Since Dravid back a few years ago, this Amla knock has been the most solid.
