| OK, let's get this in context now. So far, his test career has lasted 15 months. In those months, other players have been as prolific as him (some have been even better). It does not matter how many tests he has played, he still has only had a 15 months career.
Great players score runs throughout a period of in excess of ten years. If his career only lasts five years, then he should never be called a great (even if he score 6000 runs in those five years). He was not good enough to play for Australia five years ago, in fact his form for WA never matched his prolific for Northamponshire. So far, he's had a very good run - but a great, let's get this in perspective. |
