Well he averages over 40 in both forms of the game so i'd say he's doing alright for himself so far.

Yeah he is doing alright.

5 years ago I used to hope he'd become as good a batsman as Crowe. Not yet at least - i think now career looks like it
is going to be one of potential not quite realised

I half want this to happen and half don't, if they miss out the BCCI will formulate some dumb loving rules that stops them ever missing the final 4 again

It doesn't hurt that he has taken more catches than runs he has scored.
